Why do the facets look uneven in the photo?

The photo shows facets of varied sizes meeting at different angles, which gives the stone a freeform, faceted look rather than a symmetrical step cut. The card lists rectangular mix shape. Ask us for a top-view photo.

How tall is the stone, and will it suit a ring?

The photo shows the stone side-on, so it looks tall, but dimensions are not provided and we do not estimate them. A tall stone needs a deep, secure mount, so ask us for length, width and depth first.

Is a dark hessonite less valuable than a bright one?

Generally, buyers pay more for bright, translucent, evenly coloured hessonite, so very dark stones tend to be priced lower. Value also depends on size, inclusions and documentation, so compare listings on all these points, not colour alone.

Can this stone be re-cut or polished?

A jeweller can sometimes polish minor surface wear, but re-cutting reduces weight and changes the listed 10.74 carats. We do not recommend re-cutting without advice, and any change would make the card details no longer match.

Can I test the stone at home?

Simple home tests cannot confirm hessonite; scratch or heat tests can damage it. Only a gem laboratory can reliably confirm species, using refractive index, specific gravity and spectroscopy. Please avoid scratching or heating the stone to test it.
