An orange Hessonite Garnet weighing 1.69 carats. Polish and cut are good, laying somewhere between an oval and a cushion cut. There is a minor indentation on the girdle but this is only visible with a loupe. Colour is an absolutely gorgeous orange and despite the inclusions showing in the photos, they don't really show to the naked eye. Please see photos for detail of condition. All my gems come with a small free gift because everyone loves a present! I deliberately don't identify the free gift, hopefully this provides a bit of fun for you in working out what it is.
Standard postage is completely free (£0.00) within the U.K. If you opt for either express delivery or International delivery, then you only pay a delivery charge once per package. There are no additional postage charges (£0.00) for combining items. This means you can add as many additional items as you like, onto your order, and still only pay the one lot of postage costs. This facility applies for up to 7 days from when you make your first purchase of a combined order. To take advantage of this option please wait until you have chosen all your items, placing them in your shopping basket as you go, before checking out and paying. If you have any difficulties with the combined postage system please send me a message and I will reply as a priority, to assist you.
Having just received my Diploma in Applied Geology I have a keen interest in minerals and gemstones. I greatly enjoy obtaining new pieces and the relaxing process of investigating, verifying and cataloging them. I'm not infallible and only work in a small office without the backing of a large commercial lab so do make the odd mistake. However, I am a very nice and approachable guy so any problems with a gem or mineral please don't hesitate to let me know. I'm happy to chat by email or phone to give any further information I can to help you enjoy your new purchase. I want you to be as happy with it as me.
I'm just starting out selling and my overriding policy is to treat my customers exactly how I enjoy being treated myself. I started out as a buyer on eBay and I remember exactly which transactions were great ones and which..... weren't. I never forget that every person I sell to is just like me: eagerly waiting for the postman to arrive and hoping for something special in that parcel.
The best way to contact me is via an eBay message. I have messages set to forward an email to my phone whenever I receive one and can therefore make every effort to get back to you as soon as possible. Real life does sometimes intervene so I may not be able to reply immediately but I will do my very best to acknowledge your email and give you an estimate of when I will be able to reply properly.
If your query is urgent or complicated then I am available to chat on the phone. My number is 07812 175294. As mentioned above, I'm friendly and I really do want you to be happy with your purchase so if you think a phone call is the best way forward that's not a problem. One favour I would ask though is that you please remember I am in the UK so have a quick check of the time in England before ringing. The best times to catch me are between 10:00 and 16:00 GMT.
Best wishes
