UV Malaya Garnet from Kenya weighing 3.865 carats, cut in a checkerboard cushion. The body color shows a refined pinkish-lavender with fine internal silk that diffuses the light, producing a soft glow. Under ultraviolet light, the gem transforms, displaying a vivid red fluorescence that sets it apart from most garnets. At nearly 4 carats, this size is rarely encountered in UV-reactive Malaya Garnet, placing it in a class that appeals to both serious collectors and those who recognize the investment potential of uncommon garnet varieties.
