A gorgeous matched pair of impressive size cabochons.  This is the very popular 'cinnamon' color variety of Sri Lankan Hessonite - a rich red-orange-brown shade that is quite attractive.  Gems are quite well matched, both in proportion and color and are both clean, save for the typical 'scotch in water' effect, though even that is minimal and not at all distracting.  Any natural gem material that can make a fine pair in excess of 10 carats is scarce in today's market, particularly at this price.
