This unique garnet was faceted by the ownner of All That Glitters some time ago. This is the largest faceted gem to come from a parcel of rough Umbalite Garnet from Tanzanite - the parcel was purchased by All That Glitters a few years back, but it was purchased in the Tanzanite bush a few decades ago. Sizes in the past have been about 3-4cts, so this 6.46ct gem is not the norm. Nor is this gem material the norm in general - as depending on the lights, it will be a Ruby Red, Magenta or Burgundy in color. It is a darker gem but it certainly sparkles under incandescent where you will see the Ruby Red; diffused daylight shows Magenta and under fluorescent lights it is Burgundy and it has a unique property in that under fluorescent lights, it is a dark burgundy, but unlike incandescent or diffused daylight, it lacks the brilliance. We have seen this in some Burmese Spinel as well as Red Zircon - under some lights it doesn't sparkle and the color is non-descript, but under incandescent light, it shows lots of life and was a Ruby-like color. For the price of one gemstone, one will have a gemstone that looks like 3 different gemstones depending on the lights/wavelengths. We have sold a number of small pieces in the past, including to International Customers, and a few have faceted a few gems from our rough - the latest cutter wanted more of the material after seeing for himself the colors and unique properties. (He is available to discuss this material if interested) In Tucson 2023, we saw a 4ct similarly colored garnet (do not know if the color shifted or not) and that was priced at $150/ct wholesale, which is our price to our customers also - that piece seen in Tucson was not faceted in the United States either. As you can see from the photos, the polish is such a mirror finish (100k Diamond was used) that the tweezers are mirrored off the facets of this gem! This particular garnet parcel is very difficult to photograph and obtain accurate color rendition, so we had to modify the photos, but it gives you an idea of the red and magenta color - but it certainly does glow red under the right lights. As always, you have our Satifaction Guarantee if this particular gemstone is not to your liking for any reason. (We have a few more pieces of this material, also faceted in-house, but an accurate photo has been difficult to obtain and haven't posted the material on our website - though we have shown and sold to goldsmiths/jewelers in person.)

This unique large GIA Certed 2.51ct well cut color changing garnet hails from Madagascar. The color range varies depending on the light source and wavelengths found in those lights. We have viewed the piece under incandsccent, fluorescent, white/yellow LED as well as natural and some jewelry store lights and the colors are across the board. It really has some unique colors/flashes when there is more than one light source. The photos here show it being a really nice green, a sage green, a reddish bronze as well as a purplish color. We can see this in a ring surrounded with white diamonds and with more than one light source, the colors displayed will dazzle the viewer and of course, we don't believe that the public or even those with gemological knowledge would immediately know what species of natural gemstone this would belong too! GIA has determined this garnet to fall into the Pyrope-Spessartine Garnet Group, with a color change they described as Green to Pinkish-Purple. It really changes and varies quite a bit depending on the lights/wavelengths available, with an incredible green being seen under a small LED light that is in the All That Glitters office.

5.72ct Orangy Mahenge Garnet, Square Cushion, U.S. Faceted - some inclusions (very small pinpoints which might turn out to be platelets, which have been seen in similary colored Garnets in Africa/Madagascar, including the Imperial Malaia Garnet that the owner of All That Glitters named and submitted to the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) for study - appearing in Gems and Gemology Magazine) but not noticeable to the naked eye due to the incredible sparkle, polish and brilliance! The orange Mahenge is not common, nor is this size. Would describe the color as orangy, perhaps smoky orange under fluorescent light, but more pink under incandescent light - so some color shifting will be seen, which is another interesting feature of this gemstones!

An Unheard of Rarity - 2.71ct Bicolor Demantoid Garnet | |

This is certainly a one of a kind piece and has been certed as a Demantoid - how often does one see a bicolor in Demantoid Garnet? A few small inclusions as one can see, but doesn't affect the rarity and uniqueness of this particular gem! The GIA Cert has a decent photo of this gem in the cert below. This One-Of-A-Kind piece was discussed at length in the GIA GemLab among the 3 who work there. They all agreed that it was an Andradite, but the Species was not listed as Demantoid because Demantoid is green; the other half is a reddish and that would not be called Demantoid. In a telephone conversation between the Manager of the GemLab Identification Services and the owner of All That Glitters, (Mr. Brown), Mr. Brown was told that they thought it very unique and something that they really hadn't seen before. The manager also stated that they do not print anything like "rare", "one of a kind" , "unique", etc. on certs, even though that might be the case. He was nice enough to indicate to Mr. Brown, that he would be more than welcome to discuss this 'unique' piece with a potential customer. Contact us for more details! (btgem-11-03) | |

3.59ct Yellowish
Pyrope-Spessartine Garnet. The color is a yellow with a hint of orange. The
color did not photograph well and is too golden in this photo. However, it is a
unique color, lively, well cut, clean gem! This would most likely classify as
a variety of Malaia Garnet, but with a very distinctly unusual color...

A - 4.13cts total weight matched pair of Purple Garnet.
Incredible color, cutting, polish and hard to find shape! (leogem-11-02p) Approximately 7.8mm $1,652 (shot under office fluorescent light with white paper to disperse light) We took this pair to a well know Graduate Gemologist (GIA) Appraiser outside of Boston for his opinion of the color. Using GIAs special system of color grading (GIA GemSet), he estimate of the color was rP 4/4, which means reddish Purple, Saturation and Tone of 4. To translate this even further, Medium LIght Moderately Strong Reddish Purple. The main color is Purple, with a modifier depending on the lighting that is used - the red component is lessened under fluorescent lights making it look more purple. He also noted that this color is not common and is highly sought. Note the other slightly larger pair is approximately the same color, but this photo used paper to disperse the light and the brilliance is not available unlike the larger pair described below that used a ring light allowing the sparkle.

Chrome-like Garnet
|
A new find of garnet that contains Chromium, just as Ruby does. This is simlar to the Chrome Pyrope from Arizona, called Anthill Garnet. Under fluorescent lights, the stone is not vibrant and has a slightly orangy overtone, but when under incandescent lights - the Glowing Ruby Red is evident. This material rarely is found in large sizes like this. The norm is about 4mm - this one is just under 8mm and it is U.S. Cut. |

Look! Nicely Colored Mali Garnets in larger sizes!!!!.... Not under 1ct, not under 1.5cts, not under 2.0cts, but over 2.0cts! Yes, unheard of.........
The dispersion (fire) is evident under the right lights. Due to the color, dispersion, size, etc. most of the trade would not recognize these are garnets! Note that the color is best described as Yellow with Green or Greenish Yellow. Note that there is no brown, black or orange in the stones - the camera can pick up different colors at times which the eye does not see..... This material is even more rare now as the rough is not being found.
