Notes - This super rare Padparadscha colored Mahenge garnet was discovered a few years back and only a few of us were lucky enough to buy it thinking it would remain an active source. The first stones came out and it was announced that there were no more so the price soared at the Tucson Gem Show due to extreme rarity and high beauty of this gorgeous natural, untreated garnet. Cut by an award-winning American master cutter. Perfect engagement gem, hard enough for everyday use, brilliant unique color and this gem is a perfect size for an engagement ring.
