This 1.80 carat freeform cabochon from Arlit, Niger is a concentrated burst of color and complexity. Measuring 7.85mm x 5.3mm x 3.65mm, the stone is alive with metallic spectral diffraction across every polished face, revealing vibrant rainbow flashes that shimmer with movement and light.

Unlike many garnets from this rare locality, this piece maintains intensity and saturation from every angle, with no weak faces—just a full-bodied display of lamellar iridescence in electric hues. The natural geometry of the original crystal subtly guides the shape, giving it a distinctive organic symmetry and presence.

High-grade Niger material like this is exceedingly hard to come by—especially in a size and cut that captures this level of saturation and polish. Perfect as a miniature talisman or set in fine jewelry that honors both form and fire.
