Spessartine

Item Description

Also known as spessartine, this glowing orange species of the garnet mineral group is famous for its “neon-like” orange to red-orange color. Although it is found in several countries like Madagascar, Namibia, Brazil, and the United States, it is a relatively rare gemstone overall, and highly valued by collectors of loose stones quite aside from any use in jewelry, which somewhat reduces its overall availability as so many end up in collections. This eye clean cushion cut has great cutting, polish, and a rich and fiery orange color that never fails to “wow” onlookers. It is a stunning stone, and sparkles even in minimal light. Perfectly calibrated for easy setting to make an stunning piece of jewelry....or a collectible gem on its own. The color is entirely natural.
