Description
This gorgeous little malaia garnet displays a gorgeous pinkish-orange color. It also shows a very nice color change from a reddish brown to a rich red depending on the lighting. The primary photo was taken under daylight-balanced fluorescent lighting, where the color is almost a cinnamon red-brown. In shaded daylight the garnet shows a mix of reddish-pink and pink, while under incandescent light its a mix of red and peach-orange. The garnet has some natural inclusions of very fine rutile needles, which is typical for this type of garnet. None are easily visible in the hand and take close inspection to see. In fact, it’s the fine haze of tiny internal rutile needles that give it a beautiful glow. At just the right angle, you can see tiny sparkles of light from them, and under a loupe they are beautiful little spikes of purple-red and silver. There is a tiny area of natural texture from the initial rough on the girdle; it is not visible face-up.
I faceted this garnet into a custom triangle design created by the late Jeff Graham. The resulting gemstone is very bright and flashy in the hand. The gem weighs 1.80 carats, and measures 7.87 mm corner to corner and is 5.51 mm deep.

Video Request
Although we do our best to take the highest quality images, sometimes it can be difficult to envision how it will look on your hand. We can take a video of up to four gems side by on the hand to help you compare them and see how they perform in daylight. Please provide the following information, and include the SKU numbers or links to the stones you would like to see a video of.
Please note that we don’t do 360-degree videos as colored gems are optimized to be viewed face up, and because the current technology is such that none of the 360-degree systems we have tested provides the accurate color. Our desire is to present the most honest and accurate color possible!
