Red Garnet Color Change
Red Garnet Color Change: Highly valued by collectors and are often used in high-end jewelry.
Color change garnet is a type of garnet that exhibits a color change when viewed under different lighting conditions.
The most common type of color-change garnet is alexandrite garnet, which typically appears green in natural light and red or purplish-red in artificial light.
This color change is caused by the presence of traces of chromium in the crystal structure of the garnet.
Color change garnets are relatively rare and can fetch high prices.
Other varieties include rhodolite garnet, which fades from red to purplish-red, and tsavorite garnet, which fades from green to yellowish-green.
They are highly prized by collectors and are often used in high end jewelry and is considered one of the rarest gemstones in the garnet family.
