Description
A deep red eye clean cognac colored rhodolite garnet from Malawi.
Malawi's stunning garnets are sourced from alluvial mines in the districts of Lilongwe, Dowa, Salima, and Nsanje. Local villagers, artisanal, and small-scale miners employ traditional techniques like panning, sluicing, and dredging to extract these beautiful stones.
The Malawian government is supporting these miners by providing training on best practices, leading to the formation of mining cooperatives in key Rhodolite-producing areas. This initiative has enabled miners to improve their livelihoods and contribute to the local economy.
