This stunning Japanese Rainbow Garnet was sourced from Nara Prefecture, Japan, a region celebrated for producing these rare and highly sought-after gemstones. What sets Japanese Rainbow Garnets apart is their unique iridescent play of colors, caused by a natural diffraction grating effect within the garnet's structure. The vibrant flashes of green, yellow, and red create a mesmerizing rainbow effect, making them a true collector's gem. Known for their rarity and breathtaking optical phenomena, Rainbow Garnets from Japan are a treasure for any gemstone enthusiast
What makes these even more special is the insight from our supplier: "The guy who polished them will no longer be doing that, so what you have and what's left in Japan is all there will be.'".... No more...Guy is very elderly. When he polished them he was adjusting angles so the rainbow is visible not just from the top but even from the side. He planned every stone to give it maximum rainbow performance"
