3.5mm Malaia Garnet Faceted Rondelle Beads 16 inch 190 pieces
Malaia Garnet faceted rondelles exhibit a near Rhodolite color, exceptional brilliance, high quality make, and a deeply saturated reddish purple hue. This hybrid Pyrope-Spessartite mixture known in the trade as Malaia garnet is found in a range of hues, from slightly pinkish orange to reddish orange or yellowish orange & tone can vary from light to dark. Depending on the color, it can easily be mistaken for rhodolite, Hessonite or Spessartite. Malaia Garnet was first discovered in the early 1970's in the Umba River valley border of northern Tanzania and southern Kenya. AA Grade
