This 8.8 ct freeform polished rainbow garnet from San Pedro Mountain is a high-grade example of lamellar diffraction at its most dynamic. Measuring 13mm x 12mm x 4.5mm, its shield-like silhouette and precision polish highlight a vibrant display of color-shifting iridescence that ranges from deep electric blues and violets to rose-gold and orange fire.

The color play is vivid and lively, dancing across the surface as the stone moves—capturing that rare blend of saturated spectral hues with crisp optical layering. Its form and orientation make it especially suitable for a one-of-a-kind statement piece, while the integrity of the surface finish reveals every nuance of its internal diffraction.

A collector-quality stone that brings out the very best of what this unique New Mexico locality has to offer.
