Comment: Hessonite remains a miraculous gem even after so many encounters (on my side). To find this resin, fluid-like structure in a stone, this swirling liquid where it cannot be, is always amazing. Over six carats precision cut by Conny Forsberg from Ceylon rough (that would have made ten+ carats in a 'normal' cutting quality). Under the lens, but even with the unaided eye, you will marvel at the perfect facet formations, the gleaming surfaces and the razor sharp symmetric edges that are the product of the very best modern CAD lapidaries. See the inner glow in the low-light side-shot under 'more images'. Add the hand-shot to the main images to know that this type of deep Bordeaux red hessonites are not flashy first-sight gems but very understated, mild characters that hold their power until a surprising glow in good light reveals their beauty. Surely, one of the most relaxed and soothing gems available. No visible inclusions, no treatments, DSEF report, free shipping and rainforest protection.
