Tanzanian color shift garnet 7.05ct 12.48x9.76x6.68mm oval. The stone is Red Brown in daylight and orangy pink Red in incandescent light. This stone also displays dichromatism. The gemstone was mined in Tanzania and cut in India. The gemstone comes with a Stone Group Labs Gemstone Identification Report. The stone has been appraised by Craig Lynch G.G. for $7,500.00
As we first learned of a new alluvial find of color change garnets in Tanzania in 2011, we decided to buy as many as possible. We then partnered with a trusted supplier to buy as much available rough as possible as it was found on a daily basis. We advised our supplier to facet these rare gemstones cleanly and with very good proportions. It was one of JTV's homeruns in recent years. We knew the historical rarity of these exotic garnets but even we were surprised to learn this exciting new supply was virtually mined out in less than a year. Today, these color change garnets remain in high demand. Any gem over one carat is rare and more than five carats is super rare. This lovely weighs in at an impressive 7.05 carats, making it highly collectible for all the reasons listed above.
