This elegant 1.2 carat marquise-shaped, rose-cut rainbow garnet from Nara, Japan captures a rare and refined palette of color, dominated by a glowing rose-to-purple sheen across its polished surface. Measuring 7.85mm x 5.4mm x 2.65mm, the fine faceting enhances both the luster and the vivid lamellar diffraction, producing a dynamic, shifting play of soft metallic hues with every tilt of the stone.

The marquise shape draws the eye along the stone’s long axis, allowing the color gradient to reveal itself in full motion. As light passes over the surface, the warm rose flashes transform into rich violet tones, creating a mesmerizing visual effect unique to the finest iridescent andradites from this historic locality.

High-quality rose-cut rainbow garnets from Nara are increasingly rare, and stones with this delicate yet vibrant color balance are especially prized. A sophisticated gem ideal for fine jewelry design or an elite addition to a serious optical mineral collection.
