UMBALITE IS A SPECIFIC TYPE OF RHODOLITE GARNET, ORIGINATING FROM THE UMBA RIVER VALLEY IN TANZANIA, AND IS KNOWN FOR ITS BRIGHTER, MORE PURPLE-PINK OR PINKISH-RED HUES. THE KEY DIFFERENCE IS THAT RHODOLITE IS THE BROADER CATEGORY OF GARNET (A MIX OF PYROPE AND ALMANDINE) WITH PURPLISH-RED COLORS, WHILE UMBALITE IS A REGIONAL VARIETY OF THIS GARNET WITH A DISTINCT APPEARANCE AND HIGHER QUALITY, SOMETIMES REFERRED TO AS A "KING OF RHODOLITE"
