• Colour Change Garnets are one of the rarest, interesting and phenomenal of all gemstones. An extremely rare variety of Malaia Garnet, Colour Change Garnets are in fact a mixture of Pyrope, Almandine and Spessartite Garnet.
• The colour change can be intense and equal to the colour change of top quality Alexandrite. As a result, Colour Change Garnets can easily be mistaken for Alexandrite.
• Some of the best Colour Change Garnets are mined from a deposit in Bekily, Southern Madagascar. Colour Change Garnets from this mine are well known for their strong Alexandrite like colour change. Other well known sources of Colour Change Garnet are Songea and Tunduru in Tanzania.
