Dear friends,
I have recently purchased a spessartite. It is 1.1 carat, from Namibia. Fancy trillion cut (7.9 x 5.3 x 3.8mm)
To my examination (and also according to the vendor), the gem is eye clean. Under the loupe, I see few needles-like inclusions in one corner.
The color is a rich medium-dark orange, with hints of red, with strong saturation. Really sparkling, both under direct sunlight and in dim light.
I would like to have it mounted in a gold pendant for my wife on Saint Valentine's day. I am planning to use 3 little diamonds (0.01 ct x 3, G color, VVS, I have bought them some times ago), as accent stones.
I am so pleased by this stone that I am afraid not to be enough objective in evaluation it.
Thus, I would be grateful if you might give me your opinions on this stone!
Here some pics taken under different conditions of light
Thank you all!!!!
