Following up on my previous mint garnet post, I'm looking for some mint garnet experts to give me some opinions of the color of these stones.
Backstory: A vendor has some rough material that he can cut some mint green garnet asschers from. I'm looking for a 5mm Asscher. He sent me pics of some stones that are cut from the same material my stone would be cut. The first photo shows a larger green Asscher - at 4.31 carats. I love the color but he warns that in 5mm the color will be lighter and less saturated. The second shows a 6mm brilliant cut from the same material - so closer to the size I'm looking for but its not an Asscher.
So what do you think the color of a 5mm Asscher from this material would be? It's hard for me to visualize - should I go for it or should I pass?
