Umbalite Garnet from the Umba Valley of Tanzania

Umbalite garnets from the Umba Valley are prized for their vivid raspberry to purplish-pink hues, which are often more saturated than the tones typically seen in rhodolite. Their unique color is attributed to a higher manganese content and a chemical composition that combines pyrope, almandine, and traces of spessartine garnet
