This 3.88 ct hand-carved rainbow andradite from San Pedro Mountain is a sculptural standout by Glyptic Gems, measuring 15mm x 7mm x 3.5mm. The design features two bold notches carved into the flanks of the stone—an unconventional and distinctive motif that’s become a recognizable signature of Glyptic’s avant-garde approach to fantasy cutting.
The deeper diffraction plane in this piece creates a golden-dominant iridescence, glowing with layered hues of sunlit yellow, amber, and warm spectral fire. The internal lamellar structure is beautifully framed by the angular outline, while the precision carving guides light across the surface in deliberate, shifting patterns.
A striking fusion of elemental geometry and futuristic style, this piece is equal parts mineral specimen and wearable art, embodying both the natural phenomena of the San Pedro garnet field and the artistic voice of a world-class carver.
