Mali Grandite Garnet and other Fancy Color Garnets
Mali Garnet - grossular-andradite garnet - sometimes called "grandite" is a mixture of the grossular and andradite species. It is one of the rarest varieties within the garnet group. It was discovered in 1994 in the Republic of Mali, in East Africa, and this country is still the only known source of this beautiful gem.

A 43.19 carat faceted Scapolite from Dodoma, Tanzania with a series of parallel rows of dotted inclusions running through the stone at angles which follow the crystals growth. The tightly spaced inclusions, assumed to be Pyrrhotite, serve as a diffraction grating, causing a vivid iridescent display. This unique effect gives rise to the term "Rainbow Scapolite" being used by some gem enthusiasts to describe these rare and unusual gemstones.
