Mahenge Garnets are a rare and highly desirable variety of garnet, known for its exceptional brilliance and vibrant pink-to-rose hues. Found in the Mahenge region of Tanzania, this gem is primarily a mix of Pyrope and Spessartine garnet, sometimes referred to as "Malaya Garnet." What sets Mahenge Garnets apart is their remarkable light performance, often displaying an almost glowing, neon-like quality due to their high refractive index and dispersion. Unlike many pink gemstones, Mahenge Garnets are completely natural with no known treatments, making them highly sought after by collectors and gem enthusiasts alike.
