This property refers to the gemstone’s ability to display different colors under different lighting conditions.

Discovery :

The discovery of color-change garnet, often referred to simply as “change garnet,” is attributed to various sources over time. It wasn’t associated with a single, specific discovery like some gemstones. Instead, it gained recognition as gemologists and collectors became aware of its unique color-changing properties.

Garnets have been known for centuries, but color-change garnets were first reported in 1970. The report came from American gemologist Robert Crowningshield, who analyzed a “rare alexandrite garnet” from Tanzania that was blue-green in daylight and purplish-red in incandescent light.

Though early interest was mainly focused on what caused the color-changes, the gem’s mainstream popularity grew in the 1980s as more sources popped up like Sri Lanka. A major shift occurred when the first blue garnets (also color changing) were discovered in Madagascar in 1998.
