Garnets from this area of the world have exceptional clarity and color. I really, really, really hate muddy prune-juice-colored garbage that's passed off as nice garnets. Yuck! I just won't do it. Instead, when the Mozambique mines started producing, I focused on their material, and love every one of them. Yes, they cost a tad more, but golly, are they worth it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 8/27/14 Note: Since creating this listing, the mines in Mozambique have started to run out of material. The larger stones are all but gone, and I will not be able to get any more. The price you see in this listing reflects the current market, and is only going to go higher, probably doubling again before Christmas. When these stones are gone, they are gone. I'm sorry for the rapid price increase, but I have no control. These Mozambique stones have, for years now, been the best Garnets on the market, but with the mines playing out, the larger ones will vanish, but the smaller ones will still be around for awhile -- but they will be going up in price. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In plain English, this is simply a very pretty stone, and it's well mounted in this Sterling Silver ring. Gives me goosebumps just to look at it. This ring sits nicely on the finger, heavy filigree, center stone displayed well. This is a seriously solid ring. At SylvaRocks, all of our Sterling Silver is made with a state of the art alloy which modifies the traditional Sterling Silver alloy (92.5% silver + 7.5% copper) by replacing some of the copper with the metalloid Germanium. Adding Germanium to the Sterling Silver results in a highly tarnish resistant silver. Since the resulting metal is still 92.5% pure silver, is still qualifies as Sterling Silver -- just better. (for more information, Google the term Argentium Sterling Silver) _________________________________________________________________________ BTW, Since we make this from scratch after you order it, we have a lot of flexibility.
