Lindi Garnet from Tanzania weighing 3.229 grams and measuring 20.6 x 10.4 x 9.7 mm. This elongated prismatic crystal shows soft pink color in daylight and transforms under UV into a vivid red glow. Fluorescence of this strength is very uncommon in Lindi garnets, adding to the distinctiveness of this piece. Growth striations are clearly visible along the crystal faces, a reminder of its natural formation. Collectors will recognize the rarity of both the crystal form and the strong UV response.
We are showing the garnet using 3 light sources: White light, yellow light and UV light
