This 8.1 ct jewelry-ready rainbow garnet crystal from Arlit, Niger showcases the signature metallic iridescence and complex morphology that defines the finest material from this rare locality. Lightly polished on the back and select edges to prepare it for setting, the piece retains its sharp, naturally complex terminations—each face alive with vivid lamellar diffraction. The iridescence shimmers in high-saturation metallic hues, especially the vibrant green, rose, and violet tones distinctive to Arlit’s best material. A compelling blend of natural form and subtle refinement, this crystal is ideal for a custom jewel or a high-caliber specimen collection.
