    Notes:
    This gem was cut by me and came in a Mali garnet rough parcel back in 2016. It was 5.07 carat alluvial rough and was totally different than everything else in the parcel. It has an RI of 1.77 and it shows unusual red flash and shows some red under the chelsea filter saying it has chromium in in. The parcel had about 30 nice pieces of rough in it and this one stood out as unusual and of course I had to test it after cutting and it is in the grossular family of garnet; truly unusual gem...
