Lightly included — small reflective crystal inclusions visible under 10× immersion, some minor cloudiness/silk in lower portion.

Face-up color is a warm saturated red. Under 10× backlit examination, the body transmits salmon-pink to orangey-pink with a relatively clean center.

Small reflective crystal inclusions are visible under 10× immersion, with minor natural silk/cloudiness in the lower portion — typical of untreated natural garnet. Notable lower SG (3.76) compared to typical Malaya indicates a higher pyrope-to-spessartine ratio, giving this stone its particularly rich red face-up color.

Fine collector quality with good jeweller appeal.
