Title: 24 hour auction!!! Mali garnet trillian / superb brilliance ***1.40 carats*** Post by: tiptopgemdotcom on January 05, 2012, 06:08:49 PM This is a Mali garnet- from Mali in West African and nowhere else! That's right, this gemstone is only found in a single source country. It is highly valued among gemstone collectors because it is an unusual hybrid- a combination of grossular and andradite garnets. This stone weighs 1.40 carats and is a deep cognac color- a truly beautiful earth tone. It is very, very well-cut so it has a ton of sparkle (brilliance). The dimensions are 7.30 x 6.99 x 4.60mm deep.
Bidding starts at 7BTC and increment is 1BTC http://s13.postimage.org/82bswocif/DSCN6580.jpg Your satisfaction is always 100% guaranteed. http://s14.postimage.org/6bpk3kkf5/DSCN6582.jpg 1.40 carats http://s11.postimage.org/bk4tsdwdf/DSCN6586.jpg Quick- name a city in Mali. Did I stump you? How about Timbuktu. Read this because there will be a quiz: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timbuktu (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timbuktu) Melanie and I did NOT go to Mali to buy this stone, but we do know a great many African gemstone traders who bring such stones to Bangkok.
