🌈 About UV Mint Garnet:
UV Mint Garnets belong to the grossular garnet family, but stand out due to their unique optical behavior. This variety shows a fresh mint green hue in daylight and may shift to warm orange or golden tones under UV or artificial light, with distinct fluorescence — a feature rarely seen in garnets.
Found primarily in Merelani Hills, Tanzania, these stones are increasingly sought after for their rarity, aesthetic, and metaphysical properties.
