Product Details

A genuine Mali Garnet (grossular‑andradite "grandite"), mined only in the Sandaré region of Mali — the single commercial source on Earth for this hybrid garnet species. Specs Weight: 1.28 ct Cut: Oval brilliant/mixed Measurements: 7 × 6 × 4 mm Color: Soft champagne‑lemon with green undertone Species: Grossular–Andradite garnet (Grandite) Origin: Mali, West Africa Treatment: None — 100% natural, untreated Clarity: Included (natural inclusions visible under magnification — see photos/video) Why collectors want it: Mali garnet has a refractive index near 1.79 and dispersion of 0.057 — higher fire than diamond. That's what gives it those little rainbow flashes as it rolls. Production has slowed dramatically since the original 1990s find, making clean faceted stones increasingly hard to source.
