Typically, it exhibits a greenish-blue to grayish-blue color in daylight and transitions to a purplish-red to reddish-purple under incandescent light. This captivating optical phenomenon is due to the complex chemical composition of these Garnets. With a hardness of 6.5 to 7.5 on the Mohs scale, they offer good durability. The unique color-changing property makes them highly sought after by collectors and those who appreciate the extraordinary in gemstones.
