One piece of blue cobalt garnite. One tablet costs 6,500 yen.

Cobalt Garnite, a beautiful blue that looks like the deep sea, has newly appeared in the history of jewelry.

The shine that sparkles like the surface of water in the sunlight seems to be somewhat similar to the straight shine of spinel.

That should be it. Did you know that spinel, which is also the birthstone for August and is popular for its rich color variations, is actually the name of a group?
What is usually called spinel is a type whose main component is magnesium.
This is gahnite in which magnesium has been replaced with zinc.

Until now, gahnite was mostly brownish-green and was not very popular as a gemstone. However, a new type of blue that contains cobalt has been discovered.

When you think of ``a spinel blue that contains cobalt,'' the first thing that comes to mind is probably cobalt spinel.
This Garnite is also a member of the spinel family, so it may be easier to understand if you think of it as a relative.

It is a very new gemstone that I heard was discovered in Nigeria at the end of 2019, and it seems that most of the loose stones are relatively small, around 0.5ct.

Please enjoy this new face in the jewelry world.
