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.)

Grape or Purple Garnet from the famous Mozambique Locality - a rather large one as this
desposit hasn't been producing and when seen, they are usually small gems. This fine oval weights
2.89cts and is only $600/ct. The trade price at the Tucson Show is showing high prices for this material, and
several years ago, similar material in New York City was retailing at about $1,000/ct. (ik-23-08) $1,734
Mahenge Garnet (1.19ct), purplish pink, in an intersting parallelogram or diamond shape, giving a few possibilities

4.17ct U.S. Faceted African Garnet in a long spear shape. Color varies depending on the lights, but mostly a reddish rose.
Due to the facet arrange in the pavilion and what is expected in an elongated shape, the gemstone shows off its brilliance as it is tipped with
the brilliance going up and down the gemstone. (vyg-19-01a) $834
Very large 6.93ct Neony Green Grossular Garnet, faceted in the U.S. from All That Glitters rough, by one of our talented and
wonderful cutters. Bright lively gem with hints of dispersion. As expected in this size, there are some small inclusions that can be seen with a loupe, but a plus to indicate natural
origin as this large size is not often seen and anything indicating natural crystal growth will be a help in identification.
Has a 'glow' which is unexpected for this Garnet Group. Though this comes from the same area as Mint Merelani Garnet (Grossular), a relative of Tsavorite,
the brightness and glow is very unlike the typical Mint Merelani as that more common material doesn't necessarily glow like this does. The Garnet Group is very complex
and perhaps this has a larger percentage of some element - or perhaps this could even be a new type of Garnet or oddity. This was a difficult
gemstone to photograph and to obtain an accurate color. On our laptop monitor, we have an accurate color; with so many devices
now displaying images, accurate color is a problem since screens are not calibrated. The photos do not do this gemstone justice as
the color is not exactly accurate - there is very little one can do if the photo or video just doesn't show that "pop" that one sees
in person. The video color is certainly not close to the color the eye sees - and the true brilliance/sparkle as well as dispersion is not
captured, but it goes give an idea of what the gem looks like to some extent. In 2020, we saw a 1.6+ct round, without the
glowing green this gem has, and the retail on it was approximately $2500/ct. The 2023 Tucson Trade (Wholelsale) Prices for smaller gemstones of this species,
are much higher as well as other fine quality colored gemstones in general However, they are that very light Pastel Mint and not this vivid glowing color - the wholesale price for
small material is being seen at over $1500/ct. With this being such a large example of this gemstone species, you will be surprised at our low
pricing of only $2,200/ct! Ideally, we would like to increase the price of this as we cannot replace this size, color, cutting, etc. at our current
price. (vyg-19-03) $15,246
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. (mfg-19-02) $10,000
Large U.S. Faceted Umbalite Garnet weighing 12.63ct. Color is red to magenta and is faceted in a fancy
cushion shape. Difficult to obtain an accurate true color rendition. A 7+ct Umbalite from a well known
West Coast business was selling at $1000/ct a few years back.
This is priced at only $600/ct! (vyg-18-01a) $7,578
An Umbalite Garnet Oval weighing 5.69cts and originating from Tariri, Tanzania - similar to a few other pieces shown on this
page and has 3 distinct colors. This one shows the Ruby Red under incandescent; you can also expect to see a burgundy wine as
well as a pretty magenta. Faceted by one of the U.S. cutters working with All That Glitters. Photo is not accurate in color -
reds are very difficult to reproduce in photos. (eagt-18b-01a) $569
Oval Color Shifting Mahenge Garnet weighing 4.27cts, Oval. In diffused daylight, it is a deep rose,
and under various other lights, can look more salmony taking on more orange. Faceted in the U.S. $2,135 (ctmc-17a-01c)
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!
$3,718 (ctmc-17a-01b)
Large Beautiful Magenta 8.59ct Square Cushion Mahenge Great - huge for this material! Color is gorgeous and could also be described
as a reddish purple going to a reddish pink depending on lighting. U.S. Faceted. $6,872 (ctmc-17a-01a)
A Wonderfully Fine Colored Large Umbalite Garnet, facetd in the US by one of our cutters. Weighs 12.68cts and
has the color expected of an Umbalite, which some call the King of Rhodolites. The color varies from Burgandy, Maroon,
Purple and Magenta depending on the lights being used. The color change is very similar to a 7+ct Umbalite we have seen from an
exclusive company on the West Coast. Their retail price was $1,100/ct. We posted the photo of this Umbalite on Facebook to share it
prior to publication here, and one person in the know thought that the price of this large 12+ct gem would be in the $20,000 range.
Thus is the reality today in pricing, where the new find of purple garnet is selling at about $450/ct (wholesale in Tucson 2016).
Though our Umbalite is almost twice the size of the 7 ct piece, we are offering it at what we feel is a fair price based on
the cost of rough, cutting, beauty, cutting, color, etc. and for the time being, only $550/ct or $6,974. As the size for rare gems
increase, the price per carat also goes up, sometimes expotentially. Again, our pricing is based differently, allowing unexpectedly low
pricing on most of our gemstones. (then-16-03)
Very attractive salmon or rose-red large 9.16ct Garnet, possibly a Rhodolite. Current price is what one typically

3.05ct Deep Red Garnet from India, nice sparkle. Appears dark in the photo,
but not nearly as dark as in the photo. Incandescent light should give it a
more rich red color. Decades old. $210
2.21ct Oval Garnet from India. Poor photo. Couldn't capture the color or
life. A darker gem, with what could be called a rose color. Gem is much nicer
in person. $150
Another new variety of garnet
from Madagascar and this might be the first to be shown online. A smaller less
saturated gem was photographed by GIA for most likely Gems and Gemology back in
early February 2014. The material will not be very large with most being about
1ct or under, and 2 plus carat pieces very far and few between and therefore
sought after. Of the 4 pieces that were available, this was the largest,
cleanest, most well faceted and the best color. This monster weighs in at
2.27ct. This material will color shift like many other garnets (as does
Tourmaline, Sapphire, Spinel and many other gemstones). (xgxc-14a-01)

(hv-05-04p) $750 (We have a total of 4 pieces available, all about 16x12
and weigh about 10cts each!)
Note that the saturation on these African Ruby Red Garnets is
dark. From a few feet away, they may look almost black, but under incandescent
light, they sparkle and appear to be Ruby, with that rich red. They react the
same way as Ruby does - they look better under incandescent light; these garnets
probably contain Chromium just like Ruby. We have seen similar Red Spinel from
Burma - some are just too dark in any light, but some may appear dark but pop
under incandescent lights. The photos above have been enhanced in an attempt to
show the color. Some of the most difficult colors and their associated depth or
saturation of color, have been in the red and these include Garnets, Spinel, Ruby
and even Alexandrite. The photos/camera cannot capture what the human eye
actually sees.
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...

Update on Purple Garnet 2011 - We saw very little of this material, even less
so than last year. We were shocked to see the wholesale prices of the few that
we did see. For sizes less than what you will see below, they wanted $400/ct; a
small pair was priced at $800. After realizing that there are new players in
the world market for gemstones, this no longer surprised us. Prices are up on
all the finer gem material and one-of-a-kind pieces. Even Burmese Rubies
similar to what we have in inventory, were selling for about 50% to 350% more
than our price. We did manage to find a few pieces of old inventory within two
of our associates we have done business with before. They are nicely priced and
you will see them below. We hate to see any of these sell because of rarity and
replacement anywhere near what we are asking. Comments from customer purchasing
the largest Purple Garnet we purchased last year (or have seen!): I just received my Purple Garnet the other day,and it
is a knockout! It is truly a very impressive stone. Beautiful color,large size,a
real treasure to behold. This is my first order with Allen,and i am very
impressed. Not only with the stone. Allen is more than just a professional in his
trade. He is a real pleasure to talk to. A real down to earth guy. And very
helpful too. If you are thinking about ordering from Allen,i highly recommend
that you do. You will not be disappointed! Thanks again! JF

Purple Garnet Info from 2010 - Grape Juice Colored Garnet - We had seen ONE
piece of rough in (2009) that would cut an Amethyst colored Garnet. We were
very impressed with the color and saddened that we had not purchased the rough
before someone else did. Though our knowledge in the gem trade is extensive,
there are others who sometimes find these uncommon pieces before we do. We were
fortunate to find a few fine faceted specimens of this unique garnet color and
caefully select among those available to offer the several pieces shown below.
This is a color that we have not seen previously with many years in the gemstone trade, so as is
our goal, we had to have this rare and unique color in our inventory.
Sometimes smaller material is seen, but nothing in such a large, well cut,
glowing purple color as this. (We are currently offering this under the price
per carat that the cutter mentioned above sold his at - and his finished gemstone
was smaller than many of the pieces photographed below.) We also contacted
GIA about this material, and our contact there had the following to say -
"The purple
garnet is particularly interesting" . Before publishing an article on
the material, they wanted to see a larger quantity of this material on the market
and specifically learn of the location, production and mining first. As the
owner of All That Glitters then emailed back - should there be quantity, it
would cease to be of interest to us. We wouldn't expect this to be a large
find of this unusual color. It is anticipated that one may see a few pieces
here and there. The price could sky rocket at any time if this is all that is
out there. Our intriquing Purple Garnets were found in Tanzania and are
believed to be Rhodolite from what we were told.. As was stated to GIA by All
That Glitters, this is something that has to be studied because the garnet
groups are very complex and many may contain elements of more than one particular
garnet group.

Have re-examined these and a color shift/change can be
observed. Lights and wavelength are everything in color. In diffused
daylight, we see a marvelous magenta color with some grape highlights.
With incandescent, it is still magenta but leaning to more reddish
magenta. Under our Brinkman fluorescent light (this device has both an
incandescent light and fluorescent light that we use for color changing
gems, as it really will show off Alexandrite at the best possibly color
change for an individual gem), one certainly sees purple. There are
many possibly colors for these gemstones depending on available
wavelengths and lighting conditions.

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. Learm More about Color Grading:

A nice medium Rose Pink Rhodolite from Africa, weighing 4.00cts.
(eagt-90a-06) $400
Two Fancy Imperial Garnets from Africa. We are not sure what to
call this material, as garnets can be comprised of many different
elements and may not fall exactly into one garnet group. Many have
characteristics of a few groups. There is some color shifting seen
under different lights and the pear shape seems to show some red on the
ends, like a dichroic gemstone, but garnet is not dichroic, so this is an
interesting unique feature.. Whatever garnet group this belongs to, it
is unique and we only have two to offer. The two photos above were with
slightly different light sources. Under fluorescent lights, we believe
that we could call the body color a medium orange with maybe some yellow.
However one wants to describe them, we think that most people would say
- Beautiful...

Two Imperial Garnets from Africa photographed under different
lighting conditions. In the top photo, the oval had to be modified to
show more of the real color. We would call the body color a dusty rose
or beige color under fluoresecent and under incandescent light, the color
turns to more of a pink . This is what we have seen in the past when we
have had similar material. Note that this material is not common and
can be quite costly. Larger pieces cost more and have the likelihood of
having more black platelets. We choose these two pieces from maybe 10
or so pieces. They were chosen for not only color, but for cutting and
clarity. They are eye clean and in louping them, we don' recall seeing
any black platelets, but if they are hard to find and are there, it
indidates natural origin and perhaps even the location from where they
were found.

A new find of garnet that contains Chromium,

"I have all ready paid you via Paypal. I am really excited to have the chance to get something as unusual as these garnets. If I had a pocket full of $5000 bills I would clean you out! In the new items, that ruby and several of the tourmalines were really beautiful."

"I just wanted to tell you that I received the garnet the other day and it is stunning! The color is a knock-out in all light sources in my opinion and the gem has a very fine polish. The cut looks superb and the stone sparkles like crazy. Thank you so much for all of your help and patience with me. I will definitely be a repeat customer."
