You have indeed read that correctly, another locality for Chromium bearing Pyrope, the chromophore behind the 'anthill' Garnets of Arizona. Hopefully this may provide some greater availability of larger size gems in the future, but as of now we so far secured just two stones. Classic deep and pure color and a superb round of a very respectable size, this one is undeniably gorgeous. Excellent polish and clean.
