Malaya/Malaia Garnet - Interesting - Rare - Hybrid Garnet!

The dreamy pink-orange malaya (malaia) garnet was first discovered in the 1960s. This exquisite stone was found in the Umba River Valley bordering Tanzania and Kenya which remains the primary source for Malaya garnet today. Malaya garnet is one of the rare and more interesting 'hybrid' varieties of garnet. In fact, garnet comes in 6 main mineral groups/species: almandine, andradite, grossular, pyrope, spessartine and uvarovite. The term "malaya" is derived from a Swahili word meaning 'outcast'. Miners gave it this name because when it was first discovered local dealers wouldn't buy it, simply because it didn't fall into one of the standard garnet categories they knew up till then; its pink-orange colour being so different from the common red garnet. And so, it was cast aside! If only they'd known. Since its discovery, the production and mining of Malaya garnet has been very irregular and because of its rarity, it is a highly prized gemstone by gem collectors.

Why are users outbidding themselves?

Automatic Bid icon
Automatic Bid

When a bid is placed, this is the maximum amount a person is willing to bid for the product. Our system will then automatically bid on behalf of the bidder, incrementally increasing the bid up to the maximum to maintain their position as the highest bidder.

When there is an icon indicating 'Automatic Bid', it means our system is actively placing bids for the bidder based on their maximum bid. This may appear as if bidders are outbidding themselves, but it's simply a result of the system updating the bid to reflect the bidders maximum limit.

Audit

The Gemstone Sheriff program allows our members to request an audit on any product, which is completed by an independent Gemologist who assesses the accuracy of the item description and pictures.
