Natural Hessonite Garnet

Beellow

Hessonite is the yellow-orange to reddish-orange variety of grossular garnet, distinguished by its warm colour and characteristic internal texture. Transparent material of sufficient size and clarity for precision faceting is significantly less common than smaller commercial stones.

Beellow is a 28.86 ct transparent pear, cut in a combined modified brilliant and step pattern. It is documented as natural grossular of the hessonite variety, with no detected treatments.

Rarity Score: 7.8 / 10
