malaya garnet
Gemstone trade name for a reddish-orange
form of Spessartine Garnet (or a more accurately a mixture intermediary between
Spessartine and Pyrope) that originates in the Umba River Valley in
Tanzania and Kenya. This term is sometimes also used as a synonym for Spessartine. Although this is a relatively new term, it has become accepted in the gem trade.
