Umbalite Garnets are the exceptional pink to pinkish-purple Garnets named after the Umba Valley in Tanzania.
Umbalite is a relative of Rhodolite and Malaya Garnets. It is usually a mix of Pyrope, Almandine, Spessartine and occasionally Grossular Garnets. Almost all gem-quality garnets are a mix of two or more species.
Garnet is the birthstone for January, celebrates the 2nd Anniversary and comes in almost all colors of the spectrum including the rare color-change material. Lots of choice for January birthdays!
