Bought a new garnet...

Aww, it looked so fabulous from the vendor photos! I was obsessed with the color. But I think seeing the inclusions would bother me too. Good luck with whatever you decide!

Mali Garnet has always been a favorite gem of ours. When cut and polished well, they look great in all colors, as long as they are not too dark. Faceted vivid green chromium-bearing Mali Garnets are really special, as rough of this color is almost always at best heavily fractured, and at worst, completely opaque.

I think it's a nice stone.

AmericanThai, not to sidetrack the thread, but everytime your avatar pops up, I don''t notice anything else. I LOVE that spinel.

Thank you, had to get that off my chest.
