This remarkable 1.38 ct cushion-cut color change garnet from Morogoro, Tanzania displays a dramatic and unmistakable shift in hue—transitioning from a greenish-brown in daylight to a vivid magenta-purple under incandescent light. The transformation is bold and immediate, placing this stone in the top tier of color change garnets from this renowned East African source.
Expertly faceted in a balanced cushion shape, the stone exhibits excellent internal clarity and strong saturation in both lighting conditions. Tanzanian color change garnets are prized for their complex chemistry—often blending pyrope, spessartine, and almandine—and their rarity on the market. This gem offers a rare visual phenomenon paired with elegant cutting, making it a stellar addition to any collection or a perfect centerstone for a custom jewel rooted in elemental transformation.
