Bright, Gemmy, Clean, Vanadium-Bearing Kornerupine Oval from Tanzania - 0.3 ct.

Gem:  Vanadium - Bearing Kornerupine Weight:  0.3 ct. Dimensions:  5 x 3.5 mm Clarity: VVS Origin: Umba Valley, Tanzania Treatments:  None, natural kornerupine Comments: Here's a nice, sharp, richly green accent sized kornerupine.  The extra rich coloration is due to the vanadium content, which in this gem's case, is pretty high! It's a proportionally perfect oval!  Has a great pattern, and brilliance that dances from one side of the gem clear to the other in-hand.  No dead spots or windowing.   This gem could be used as an accent stone, OR as a smaller-sized solitaire stone.  It CAN stand on it's own, as it's got incredible, piercing color, even from a distance.
