Malaya. Discovered in Tanzania in 1979. According to the Gemological characteristics different from other garnets, so in essence is a mixture of pyrope and spessartine, flavoured with a grossular.
Color: light brown, slightly pinkish orange, reddish orange, yellowish orange. Malaya can have any shades of colors, typical of pyrope and grossular spessartine. Some samples noticeably change color during the transition from natural to artificial light. This effect can be explained by the residual number of chromium and/or vanadium.
