Natural Color Change Garnet

Color Change Garnet is one of the most rare, interesting, and phenomenal of all gems. The color change can be intense and equal to the color change of top quality alexandrite. Color change garnets can easily be mistaken for alexandrite. Some of the best stones are from the deposit in Bekily, Southern Madagascar. Stones from this mine are well known for their strong alexandrite like color change. To appreciate the full range of color change in these stones, one needs to observe the stones under early morning light, fluorescent light, late afternoon sunlight, and incandescent light.

Color Change Garnet
Color change garnet is especially difficult to photograph. Not only does the color change as a result of illumination under different kinds of light sources but, it also varies as a result of geographical location and time of day. Pictures also appear to differ because of technological obstacles like screen and graphic resolutions. We try to minimize the variations and display photographs which represent our best efforts at trying to show the most accurate colors with the equipment available to us. In some cases we use grahic programs like paint shop pro to help improve color resolution.
