Garnet gemstone bead is the birthstone for the month of January. Garnets beads are very complex family of minerals, all having very similar structure but varying enormously in chemical composition, properties, color and price. In reality, the human eye doesnt really care about chemical composition or properties of garnet gemstone bead but what we care about and notice right away is their color. The variation of colors and their shades in garnets is incredible.
color change garnet is a "color shifting" garnet, typically going from a reddish orange to iced tea or root beer color - not the green to purple of natural alexandrite. Color Change Garnet is one of the most rare, interesting, and phenomenal of all gems. The color change garnet can be intense and equal to the color change of top quality alexandrite.
