Introducing a remarkable treasure from The Natural Gemstone Company, a 1.61 carat color change garnet of exceptional pedigree. Originating from the rich soils of Tanzania, this gemstone displays a captivating transformation in hue. Measuring 7.63 x 5.72 x 4.47 mm, its oval shape combined with a mixed brilliant cut enhances its inherent sparkle, making it an exquisite addition to any collection. The clarity grade of eye clean, evaluated at eye level, ensures a purity that allows its intense color intensity to shine effortlessly, while the excellent polish adds a touch of refinement, elevating its overall brilliance.
This Tanzanian garnet captivates with its ability to shift color under different lighting. In incandescent light, it reveals a rich, vibrant hue that echoes the famed garnets from the Bekily region of Madagascar, known for their warm and vivid tones. Under fluorescent lighting, its color subtly morphs into a cooler, more subdued shade, reminiscent of the renowned garnets mined in Norway. This ability to exhibit different colors under varying conditions is what makes the color change garnet truly stand out, offering versatility in aesthetic and wearability that few gemstones can match.
The garnet's intense color intensity is noteworthy, drawing parallels with similar gemstones found in Sri Lanka, renowned for their deep, saturated colors. This striking feature not only signifies the gemstone’s high quality but also highlights its uniqueness, desirable to gem enthusiasts and collectors alike. Its exceptional clarity and precise cutting further elevate its visual appeal, offering a scintillating display that captures and refracts light with grace and brilliance. Such characteristics not only enhance the garnet's natural allure but also affirm its status as a gemstone of excellent craftsmanship and quality.
