Description

This Umbalite (Rhodolite Garnet) parcel from Umba Valley, Tanzania, has a total weight of 14.93 ct and features pear-shaped stones in an attractive violet-red color. Umbalite is the trade name used for the especially appealing pink to purple rhodolite garnets from this sought-after Umba Valley material, which has gained strong attention since the newer find for its lively colors and generally attractive quality.

As a parcel, this lot is offered in true market-direct character. That means the stones are sold as trading goods without additional refining, repolishing, or recutting. Variations in cutting style, proportions, and finish are normal in this category, and native cuts are common. For that reason, such parcels are especially well suited to professionals who understand the potential of the material and can decide whether to use the stones as they are or improve them further.

The pear shape is always interesting for jewelry production, as it can be used in pendants, earrings, rings, and many custom multi-stone layouts. Combined with the lively violet-red color, this parcel offers attractive possibilities for manufacturers, cutters, and dealers looking for material from the Umba Valley source at a low wholesale-oriented price level.

A market-direct Umbalite (Rhodolite Garnet) parcel from Umba Valley, Tanzania, with 14.93 ct total weight, pear shapes, and appealing violet-red color — ideal for professional buyers seeking useful trading material with color and potential.
