Medium Dark Purplish Red Mahenge Garnet Oval 1.94 Carat Eye Clean With Color Shift MAH00061

Not your typical red Almandine garnet, this Mahenge garnet is a medium-dark pinkish-red color in office lighting, shifting to red in old-fashioned incandescent lighting and purple in 6500K cool LED lighting (see pictures). This color shift is typical for Mahenge garnets. We were lucky enough to obtain a parcel of Mahenge garnets soon after they were first discovered in Tanzania in 2015. We finally had the parcel faceted by our cutting shop and the results have been incredible. As you can see in the video, this particular garnet is eye clean. Its scintillation is a bit subdued due to its deeper color, so we are pricing this this particular Mahenge garnet at less than $200 per carat.
