Large and bold for the price, this is the quality of Hessonite that is usually set aside for cabbing as it has the highest degree of that hazy turbidity that helps define the species. We thought that it might be interesting to facet one of these and get some brilliance back. It is an interesting look and one that could really only be Hessonite, a kind of glowing embers look vs. traditional brilliance.
