We used to see these lovely stones in much greater quantities than we have in the last 4 or 5 years. For grossular, it is a lovely light tone and makes for a brilliant and attractive gem. These have the classic ‘heat-wave’ effect and, though free from other inclusions, that impart a slight hazy softness to the brilliance. Classic variety, great size and nicely cut. Scarce now.
