Description
This gorgeous pastel pyrope garnet is a remarkably pure light pink color–a very uncommon color in garnets and very rare for a predominantly pyrope garnet. While the color shifts slightly with different lighting, the overall pink color is what dominates, with mainly the intensity varying with light source–although any light with significant UV output does enhance the red component, as this garnet has chromium content and fluoresces a bright red color. It has very small inclusions that are quite difficult to see with the unaided eye from a normal viewing distance. The inclusions have been factored into the price, making this a great value for the size and color.
I had this gem and a few other unusual garnets like it that I had received analyzed since they are so unusual. They turned out to be a rare type of garnet referred to as “pastel pyrope” garnets. These are unusual pale-colored garnets that are predominantly pyrope in their composition. The pink garnets I had analyzed ranged from 63-69% pyrope and 28-31% almandine with remainder of their composition as grossular garnet. I faceted it in a custom mixed square cushion to highlight the brilliance of the stone. The gem weighs 1.84 carats, and measures 6.5 x 6.5 x 4.8 mm.

Video Request
Although we do our best to take the highest quality images, sometimes it can be difficult to envision how it will look on your hand. We can take a video of up to four gems side by on the hand to help you compare them and see how they perform in daylight. Please provide the following information, and include the SKU numbers or links to the stones you would like to see a video of.
Please note that we don’t do 360-degree videos as colored gems are optimized to be viewed face up, and because the current technology is such that none of the 360-degree systems we have tested provides the accurate color. Our desire is to present the most honest and accurate color possible!
