7.79ct VVS Almandine Garnet (#174740)
The garnets comprise a family of complex silicates with widely varying chemical composition but similar structures. The most common garnet is Almandine (or Almandite), which is dark brownish or purplish red. Garnet is very popular for its excellent hardness (7-7.5) and its brilliance due to its high refractive index.
