Le nom "grenat Malaya" doit être considéré comme une terminologie commerciale et pas scientifique.
C'est une variété de grenat de composition mixte; 0-83% pyrope, 2-78% almandin, 2-94% spessartite, 0-24% grossulaire avec pas plus de 4% d'andradite (Wise 2005).
Other garnet Malaya was discovered in Madagascar since 1996.
When these stones were discovered, nobody too much knew how to classify them. They were then little asked and these gemstones were then " outcasts " (except caste in a way).
Some of these garnets present a variation of color according to the light source: purple, pinkish, orange, yellow, " padparadsha ".
