Jewels from the Woods (Blanco, Texas) displayed color-change pink pyrope garnets (see above) at the AGTA show. Their color changes from purple in daylight-equivalent light to pink in incandescent light. This was the first time there had been such a large selection of the stones at AGTA, according to independent gem cutter Desmond Chan, who was assisting Jewels from the Woods. He said the material had been very well received.
