Description

This remarkable color-change garnet comes from the famous deposit found in Bekily, Madagascar in the late 1990’s.  These garnets are rarely large, but are unique for their color–they were the first known blue garnets discovered.  They typically change from a blue to blue-green color in daylight to purple color under incandescent light.  The blue color is very difficult to photograph, and they really have to be seen in person to be fully appreciated.

This garnet is a rich steely blue color when viewed under fluorescent, LED or daylight– with an occasional blue-green tone as the photo implies.  Under incandescent light it changes to a rich violet purple. The garnet is nearly flawless; there appears to be no visible inclusions, even when examined with a 10x loupe. Faceted in our “Serendipity” brilliant oval design, the gemstone weighs 0.70 carats and measures 5.8 x 4.7 x 3.5 mm.  It would make a very unique center stone for a one-of-a-kind ring.

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!
