Description
In 1994 a new type of garnet was discovered in the African nation of Mali. A mix of two relatively rare and valuable gem garnet types–andradite and grossularite–this new garnet was named “Mali Garnet” in honor of the locality of discovery. The most well-known gem grossular is tsavorite, and the most well-known andradite gem is the rare demantoid. Mali garnet has a relatively high refractive index, giving it a beautiful brilliance which is enhanced by the high dispersion of demantoid, giving it a lovely “fire.” The color can range from brownish to a bright green, with rarity and value increasing as the color follows that trend. This Mali garnet is a beautiful almost pure yellow color (there’s just a tint of green) and it has lovely dispersion that can’t be captured in this photo–making it reminiscent of a yellow diamond. It weighs 0.67 carats and measures 4.95 x 3.63 mm. I faceted it in my own version of the classic diamond round brilliant cut which has been optimized for gems like this one to maximize the brilliance and dispersion.

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!
