Excited to contribute to a Journal of Gemmology article on the new "Rose Garnet" discovery in Tanzania, which can be found in the current issue. The cover photo (of the rough and cut garnet) is also mine.

Since it is the current issue, I'm not able to share specifics from the article itself. So if you're not already a subscriber, consider picking up a copy to learn about this gorgeous new garnet! Lighter and brighter than rhodolite, this material reminds me a bit of the "pastel pyrope garnet" that entered the market some years ago.
