Large Garnet Sphere

Commissioned by Rock Currier to be cut from rough, this hefty, large cabinet-sized polished sphere of deep, slightly purplish red hue. It is very rare to see garnets polished into spheres and the hardness of the material does not easily lend itself to doing so. Weighing 5,390.0 carats (1,078.0 grams). Diameter 3 1/8 in

Footnotes

Accompanied by a hand-written note regarding the sphere: "Cost $2000 to cut".
