Garnet Malaya is a unique type of garnet and very beautiful. By color mixture of pyrope and spessartine: pinkish-orange and Vice versa) is very similar to the sapphire color Padparadscha.

Garnet Malaya has the ability to change color depending on the lighting, which makes it even more attractive, due to the small presence of traces of chromium and vanadium.

The only deposits of Malaya pomegranates of commercial significance are located in the Umbra valley in Kenya, Northern Tanzania, and southern Madagascar in the Bekili region.
Large crystals are extremely rare, and mostly the raw material is very small (up to 1,0 -1,5 carats).
We suggest not to argue with mineralogists and gemologists about what the Malaya garnet is, since the color of this type of garnet is very similar to its counterparts: pyropom spessartin, umbalite, hessonite, rhodolite and all of them are a large family of one type of mineral. And since it is rare to find garnet minerals of a uniform composition, to accurately and easily refer to one or another class, it is easier to navigate by color.
