This stone has RI 1.705 and SG 4.09. I think it is a Garnet. In photo "inclusions 2" we can see enlarged inclusions and in photo "inclusions 3" there is one triangular (in the white cycle). Can it be triangular platinum crystals of Pulled synthetics ? In photo "inclusions 4" we can see curve striae. Are there synthetic Garnets or the stone is not a Garnet ? Thanks

That last picture is polishing marks on the surface, not curved straie inside. |

the 1st and 2nd pictures shows something looking natural to me. 3rd, as Julie said, are surface scratches/lines likely due to bad polishing........... ciao alberto |

With a RI at 1.705 it is very unlikely that the stone be a garnet. Or did you mean 1.750 ? |

"That last picture is polishing marks on the surface, not curved straie inside." Julie , thanks for your information because I have many stones with this marks and i though it was curved straie. |

"With a RI at 1.705 it is very unlikely that the stone be a garnet. Or did you mean 1.750 ?" Isi, hi I am not gemologist. I studied agriculturalist. It is 1.705 and i said Garnet, because i read it on "Refractive Idex Reference Chart" of the company i bought my Refractometer. It says 1.696 to 2.030 for general Garnet. |

Too low for garnet, pyrope garnets typically start at 1.714, but since they almost always form w/ almandine, you typically see these reddish pyrope/almandine ~1.74ish or higher (more like 1.77) inclusions look natural, but unless the reading was incorrect... the hunt continues |

Judging from inclusions, surface condition and facet junctions, coloration, and data you supplied, look towards Willemite as a possibility. Not commonly seen faceted, but the inclusions are possible, brittle so facet junctions being abraded are likely, etc. |
