Outside of the newer finds of minty green stones, Kornerupine is not a widely appreciated species. Most are dark and very much modified by brown. Recently, our Sri Lankan contacts sent us this one - probably one of the more attractive Sri Lankan Kornerupines we have ever seen. The brown modifier is minimal, limited only to some influence on the sides. The central color of the gem is a surprisingly pure and attractive green. Clean and of a very respectable size as well. Scarce as such.
