Personal Note From Natural Gems Belgium:

This 4.36 carat pair pear shaped garnets are unheated Rhodolite Garnet has a bright pinkish purple color, displaying magnificent hues without needing much sunlight. With a good cut grade, fair to good symmetry, and a fair polish, it has a vitreous luster. The gemstones have a tiny, barely noticeable roughness on the girdle that does not affect its overall quality.
