Beautiful colour-shift garnet, 5.6 carats

Here's a stunner!! A beautiful garnet displaying a pronounced colour-shift property. The stone is bright purple in good natural light. Under incandescent bulb this shifts to bright red with a pinkish-purplish tinge. Under fluorescent light it takes on a maroon hue. The colour also shifts in response to the intensity of the same kind of light.

The stone weighs in at 5.6 carats and is 9.7mm square.

Asking $500 - this price is negotiable.

Cheers all

So pretty!

Cheers everyone :Y: I wish I could get hold of a bag full like this one! I have plenty of Harts range rough and a few have shown a colour shift but none as dramatic as this one.
