Thoughts on this Garnet

[peppermintpatty]

What do you think of this? Do you like it? Is this cut better suited to a darker color stone? Does any one else feel like the way it is cut almost gives it the look of a step cut? Just wanting some opinions- thanks!

Yes, there is definitely step-cut faceting in the stone you posted ... is this Morganite? I think it is very pretty and unique! To me, the shape and cut work very well in this color, but would want to see photos/video if this cut was done on another stone of a different color and/or stone type.

I actually am on a hunt for a stone very like this one, but IMHO it is a cut/design that people with either really like or really dislike due to the windowed center.

I thought it looked like step cuts- so cool! It’s a garnet. I like the window when it’s done on purpose. Someone bought it, sadly not me. I hope a Pricescoper got it!!!

Would you mind disclosing the vendor and/or providing a link to the stone?

@marymm It’s premier gemstones- one word, on Instagram. His name is Alex. He can cut like a dream. He’s been selling a lot of diamonds lately, but I’m more into the gemstones right now. I have a spinel and garnet from him. Alex is an absolute joy to work with!
