Mali Garnet
0.42ct Mali Garnet & Diamond Accent Filligree Ring 9ct Yellow Gold
Discovered in 1994, Mali Garnet’s named for its only source, the west African nation of Mali. With bright autumnal hues, spectacular brilliance, and excellent fire, Mali Garnet is an extremely beautiful, yet exceedingly scarce, all-natural hybrid of two rare Garnets. Perfect for jewelry, Mali Garnet’s Grossular (i.e. Tsavorite) lineage affords fantastic brilliance, high-clarity and wear-ability, while its Andradite (i.e. Demantoid) heritage provides superb fire and luster. One of the newest members of the Garnet family, Mali Garnet is undeniably exclusive, with most historically mined over 20 years ago. Translucent to transparent, Mali Garnet is a natural blend of Andradite (calcium iron silicate) and Grossular (calcium aluminum silicate), ranging in color from almost Tsavorite green to yellow-green, yellow, golden, and brown. Some exceedingly scarce Mali Garnets also display color change, alternating from ‘grayish-green’ in fluorescent light, to ‘brown’ in incandescent.
