Merelani Mint Garnet has a fresh, vivid green color, great brilliance and is suitable for daily wear. Unlike many other gemstones, it is neither heated nor oiled. This gemstone does not need any treatment - it is beautiful in its pure, natural form. The color range in daylight runs from a light green, to an intense cool green, to a deep forest green. The Merelani Mint Garnet is named after its mining locality, the Merelani Hills of Tanzania. Its pastel green color is becoming more and more popular among collectors and jewelry designers. Unfortunately, fine quality Merelani Mint Garnets are getting very difficult to find as time goes on. One unique feature occurs when this gem is exposed exclusively to ultraviolet light, it transforms from its beautiful mint hue to the most striking pastel pink and Padparadscha orange glow.
