Color Change Fluorescent Chromium>Vanadium Malaya Garnet
TESTED AND SCIENTIFICALLY DESCRIBED by GIA and AGL in 2022
WHAT IS DRAGON GARNET?
According to the research conducted by the GIA lab in Carlsbad, California, published in their 2022-23 Winter Issue, Dragon Garnet is a Color Change, Strongly Fluorescent, Chromium>Vanadium MALAYA GARNET (Pyrope 61.5%, Spessartine 29.0%, Grossular 6.5%, and Almandine 2.6%), with significant quantities of rare earth minerals like ittrium (1206 ppmw), ytterbium (420 ppmw), and erbium (222 ppmw)
In May 2022, the MASTERPIECE COLLECTIVE gem supplier team, Ales Patrick Krivanek, USA, and Amson Magaju, Kenya, discovered two completely independent volume sources of this unique, high-value gemstone. This gem was previously seen and described only from rare single finds, mainly in the country of Tanzania.
Samples for testing were supplied to and/or acquired by several leading American gemstone labs, namely GIA, AGL, Ouellet & Lynch Lab, GSI, and L. Bruce Jones operating the very best equipped private gemstone lab (formerly Pacific Gemological Services, and others).
