Mali Grossular
Mali Grossulars were discovered “just recently”, at the end of the 20th century.
Very much to the surprise of the gemmological community, they had a much higher refractive index and brilliance as all gem quality grossular garnets known before, and they show a variation of colours from fine pastel to lime green as well as champagne to yellowish-brown colours.
These distinct features have made them popular with contemporary jewelry designers all over the world.
