1ct Tanzanian Umbalite Garnet & Diamond Accent Cluster Ring 9ct RG

Umbalite are beautiful imperial, purplish-redish and red gemstones from Tanzania’s Morogoro Region that were discovered in 2015. While Umbalite was first unearthed in 1978, mining of this rare gemstone has been very irregular since its discovery.Due to Umbalite’s rarity, they are highly prized by gem collectors.Used in adornment for over 5,000 years, Garnets were popular in ancient Egypt from around 3100 BC, being used as beads in necklaces as well as inlaid jewelry (gems set into a surface in a decorative pattern). Garnet’s many myths frequently portray it as a symbol of light, faith, truth, chivalry, loyalty and honesty.The primary difference between Umbalite and the related Rhodolite is its unique colors and scarcity as a result of Spessartite traces, possessing a rarity similar to the coveted Spessartite and Tsavorite. Umbalite is also totally natural, which further increases its rarity.
