Comment: Blown away by its fire, I assumed this to be sphalerite as was noted on its baggy, but from IGI it came back as spessartite (higher value and more durable but I had to look twice). Jaw-dropping neon yellow-orange, not sparkly like sunshine but like the sun herself. Free of inclusions, precision cut, a natural indent on the back does not count as inclusion, nor is it visible from the front or back without lens for that matter. Four and a half mm round with diamond-fire but spessartite-only color. As always, the one-in-a-thousand quality is priceless and we rather keep it than sell it for a 'simple' upper market average. That said, if you absolutely need THIS gems or any other that is beyond your means, I'm always happy to make somebody happy; and I know the great Manitou, God or the Universe, will honor my conduct when I enter the eternal mining grounds, one day hopefully not too soon. IGI report, free shipping, rainforest purchase, animal rights fight, grading papers and all you may need to enjoy your gem is included in our prices.
