Color change garnet refers to a type of garnet gemstone that exhibits a distinct color change when viewed under different lighting conditions. This phenomenon is known as "alexandrite effect," named after the alexandrite gemstone, which is famous for its dramatic color shift.
Color change garnets typically appear green or bluish-green in daylight or fluorescent lighting and shift to purplish-red or reddish-purple under incandescent lighting or in the presence of candlelight. This phenomenon occurs due to the interaction of different wavelengths of light with the trace elements or impurities present in the garnet's crystal structure. The most valuable color change garnets display a strong and noticeable shift between the two primary colors.
Color Change Garnet is thought to possess qualities such as adaptability, transformation, and balance. The color shift is often likened to personal growth and the ability to navigate changing circumstances. This gemstone is believed to enhance perception and awareness, potentially offering new perspectives on situations. It's also associated with inner strength and courage, with the color shift symbolizing the ability to overcome challenges.
