This cut is called a pear (or teardrop) and was a commission for a co-worker. I was still learning the techniques for taking photos/videos of stones so this isn’t the best quality shot. However, when this stone was in the outdoors with sunlight, it absolutely showed off a ton of red fire.
Garnets can be tricky especially the really color saturated ones. See my next post about the loss of a stone. 🥲
