A famed American stone, these chrome Pyropes are the so-called Arizona 'anthill' garnets. A lively and intense red bodycolor that is essentially unmatched by Pyrope garnet from other localities. These have been mined for many decades and are never very large, so a stone of this size is quite scarce. Plenty of the classic needles and a few included Apatite crystals, the dark tone hides all of this and you are left with a large and brilliant example at quite reasonable cost for a rare size. .
