    Pieces: 1
    Shape: Oval Facet
    Type: Color Change Garnet Garnet  Pyrope-Spessartite
    Color: Blue-Green in flourescent only Changing to Purple in incandescent / Candle light only (I consider the stone to be dark in tone)
    IMPORTANT: THE DESCRIPTION OF THIS STONES COLOR IS DIRECTLY FROM THE GIA CERTIFICATION THERE IS NO DISPUTING THAT DESCRIPTION.  IF YOU SEE A DIFFERENCE ON YOUR DEVICE PLEASE ASK AS DIFFERENT DEVICES CAN SHOW NOT ONLY DIFFERENT COLORS BUT VARIOUS SHADES AND TONES FROM THE PHOTOS AS I SEE THEM WHICH ARE MATCHES FROM MY END TO THE GEMSTONE.  SO EXPECT THE COLOR AND TONE (IE LIGHT, DARK) OF THE GEM TO BE AS WRITTEN IN THE DESCRIPTION AS IT IS DIRECTLY FROM THE WORLD LEADER IN COLORED GEM IDENTIFICATION.

    WE CANNOT STRESS HOW RARE THIS MATERIAL IS.  THERE ARE 2 COLORS GARNETS HAVE NEVER BEEN FOUND IN, BLUE AND COLORLESS OR WHITE, UNTIL NOW.  IN EAST AFRICA NOT ONLY HAVE A FEW WHITE GARNETS BEEN FOUND BUT A BLUE GARNET FOUND IN SEVERAL TINY DEPOSITS HAVE BEEN DISCOVERED.  THIS GARNET IS A COMBINATION OF TWO MORE WELL KNOWN GARNET, PYROPE AND SPESSARTITE.  WHAT ADDS TO THE WONDER OF THIS BLUE GARNET IS THAT IN INCANDESCENT IT CHANGES COLOR TO A RED OR PURPLE RED MAKING IT EVEN MORE RARE AND DESIRABLE. THIS MATERIAL IS BEING SOLD FOR AS MUCH AS $5,000 PER CARAT IN IT’S FINEST CONDITION. THIS IS A STONE YOU MUST ADD TO YOUR COLLECTION AND EVEN PUT AWAY FOR THE FUTURE AS IN ALL OF HISTORY THIS IS THE FIRST FIND OF SUCH A STONE WHICH HAS ALL THE VARIABLES OF GREAT COLOR, DURABILITY, IT’S RARE AND MAKES GOOD JEWELRY AS WELL AS AN APPEA TO COLLECTORS.  WE HAVE JUST A HUNDRED OR SO OF THESE STONES AND ONLY A FEW ARE IN EXCESS OF 1 CARAT.  WE RECOMMEND YOU GET WHAT YOU CAN WHILE YOU CAN BEFORE PRICES FOR THIS MATERIAL BECOME UNAFFORDABLE.
