RARE TOPAZOLITE (ANDRADITE) GARNET

Origin: Madagascar

Color: Golden green

A single deposit in Madagascar

The first mention of green Andradite garnets in Madagascar was made by Lacroix in 1922 in the north of the island, without our knowing whether it was the Demantoid Garnet or the Topazolite Garnet of which he was referring. In 1997, superb Tsavorite Grossular Garnets were discovered in Gogogogo as well as Itrafo. Garnet Topazolite was discovered in the presence of Garnet Demantoid in 2006 and 2008 in the north of Madagascar in Antetezambato (Ambanja). It is estimated that at the peak of activity at this mine, 20 kg of stones were extracted per week (2009), the vast majority of which were opaque and very slightly translucent stones, totally unsuitable for jewelry. The total production of this deposit is estimated to be in the order of a few hundred kg of rough stones, including only a few kilos of stones estimated to be usable in jewelry. There are no raw samples of the finest quality, combining beautiful clarity and beautiful color of more than 2.5 g. Cut stones of 4 carats are extremely rare and those of 6 carats are exceptional pieces of museum.
