Color Change Garnet

Item Description

Garnets come in virtually every color of the rainbow. I've seen Garnets in all shades except for a true blue color. Some of the most highly sought after and attractive Garnets out there are the color change stones from Africa. This material is probably a mix of Spessartine and Grossular with a slight amount of Pyrope in it. The gem has a very attractive pink color in indoor lighting, and changes to a wonderful blue color in sunlight. The gem displays an actual "Alexandrite"-type color change, which is very difficult to find any color change stones. The stone is only very verly slightly included. Most color change stones actually only show a color "shift", which means they really don't change color i.e., from blue to purple, but this one is the real deal! The cut on this stone is a "Square Cushion Step" cut. A highly valued gem on the market today. Priced at $1356.00
