The recent production of some unusual Kornerupine’s has been welcomed by fans of this species. The Tanzanian stones can be a lovely minty shade of green, not something we are used to at all with Kornerupine. Most of these are quite light and look similar to grossular garnets. We have also seen the occasional chatoyant piece of this rough. Only small stones, but quite lovely as cat’s eyes in this distinctive color. Excellent quality and a near perfect eye as well.
