Natural Hessonite

Hessonite garnet is a variety of grossularite. It is common in the gem gravels of Sri Lanka and, practically all the gem material is obtained from this locality. From a gemological perspective the peculiar and unique treacly streaks give the stone's interior an oily or even glasslike appearance.
