Description
This gorgeous imperial garnet is a beautiful peach-pink color–a very uncommon color in garnets. The color does shift with the lighting–under incandescent light it appears more pink while under fluorescent light the orangey component is enhanced, making the peach tones dominate. Overall the color is very reminiscent of a Padparadscha sapphire–a gorgeous mix of orange and pink hues. It comes from a recent find outside Mahenge, Tanzania. These garnets are in very limited and diminishing supply and the prices for the rough have increased dramatically in recent months. Its a true rarity for the collector of fine gems!
The garnet has some natural inclusions of very fine rutile needles, which is typical for this type of garnet. The rutile needles are not visible without a loupe, although when viewed with a loupe they appear as beautiful little iridescent spikes of color. The gem shows some dispersion, flashing pale blue and orange on the pink body color. I faceted it in my modified version of the classic diamond round cut to highlight the brilliance of the stone. The gem weighs 3.08 carats, and measures 8.35 x 5.95 mm.

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!
