Another example of a gem material that is not often fully faceted - Hydrogrossular Garnet. This is much sought after as a cab material as the colors can be quite unique and they are very uniform and take a great polish. This stone being doubly interesting as straight pink is fairly uncommon in the species. Interesting and attractive stones that are now quite scarce.
