What is Color Change Garnet?Color Change Garnet is an unusual variety of the Pyralspite series primarily found in African countries such as Madagascar, Kenya and Tanzania, but also in Sri Lanka and Afghanistan. This Garnet variety is found in every color except red and black. The color of Color Change Garnets is modified toward the red end of the spectrum when incandescent light is applied. This is because incandescent light itself casts a “warm” reddish hue that brings out the red color related to minor amounts of chromium within the Color Change Garnets. Also due to the presence of chromium, most Color Change Garnets, regardless of body color, appear red or reddish under a Chelsea filter.
