Merelani Mint Garnet 6.43 ct

Design and Precision Faceting by Roger Dery

We know this as Merelani Mint Garnet due the minty color and having been mined in the famed Merelani Hills in northern Tanzania. The region is known for producing Tanzanite, but in December 2010 a pocket was unearthed which produced magnificent specimens like this one.

The design is my own, and would be characterized as a classic oval outline. I’ve used a brilliant style crown and incorporated a series of receding step cuts on the pavilion. The design was created to capture and intensify the color.
