Large and bold for the price, this is a classic old collection Sri Lankan Hessonite. The color is exactly what defines this species, as is the degree of slightly hazy turbidity in terms of clarity. This ‘scotch in water’ effect is caused in part by crystalline inclusions, some of which are large enough to be seen under 10x. A charming and large gem.
