Collection Premium Mali Garnet • 33,85 carats • Teinte jaune doré unique- 6.77 g - (15)

These fifteen natural Mali garnets reveal the luminous spectrum for which this rare hybrid variety is admired, displaying shifting tones of golden yellow, olive green and warm honey brown as light moves across their surfaces. Their crystals carry the distinctive internal glow of the grossular andradite composition, a mixture that produces some of the most vibrant and lively colours found among garnets.

Each piece shows its own personality, from softer pastel greens to deeper golden notes, with internal textures that shimmer under illumination. Their natural shapes and surface etching reflect the geological environment of Mali, where this garnet variety forms in metamorphosed calcareous rocks under precise chemical conditions that occur in very few locations on Earth.

The group together forms a harmonious palette, visually engaging for collectors and offering attractive opportunities for cutters seeking stones with strong brilliance potential when faceted.
