Description
Here’s a beautiful color-changing malaia garnet cut in my own set of modifications to an old design. This photo was taken in shaded daylight where the garnet shows a mix of reddish-pink and pink. Under daylight-balanced fluorescent lighting the color changes to a warm cinnamon hue, while under incandescent light its a deep red. The garnet has some natural inclusions–two areas of bubbles, at least one included crystal of some other mineral, and cluster of very fine rutile needles at one end. None are easily visible in the hand and take close inspection to see. In fact, like most of these garnets, there’s a 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.
The gem measures 12.2 x 8.9 mm and weighs 6.95 carats–large for a garnet like this. This is a rare collector’s stone and would a very unique addition to any gemstone collection–or make a beautiful piece of jewelry.

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!
