[QUOTE="Mr Magoo, post: 379249, member: 3008"] Not correct. Plenty of simulants out there for garnets including man made ones like GGG and YAG. Nanositol is one and green CZ and YAG is often used for Tsavorite. They will even go as far as tumbling the simulant to give the impression of it being a water worn pebble. Even the pro's get fooled. A look over some of the respected gem dealers will give an indication of what you can expect to pay and in what weight. If the price is to good to be true, it probably is. Especially regarding Tsavorite. [/QUOTE]
