Lindi Garnet from Tanzania
Mined through small-scale artisanal methods, Lindi Garnets are typically found in alluvial deposits. Over time, erosion has transported them from their original host rock into riverbeds and near-surface gravels. Due to the manual extraction process and scattered distribution, high-quality rough is rare.
Chemically, Lindi Garnets contain both magnesium and manganese, blending the deep reds of pyrope with the vibrant oranges and pinks of spessartine. Their high refractive index make sparkling gemstones
