Spessartine (also called Spessartite) Garnet, a vibrant and fiery gemstone, is a manganese-aluminum Garnet known for its intense orange to reddish-orange hues. Its brilliance and high refractive index contribute to its captivating sparkle. Ranging from 7 to 7.5 on the Mohs scale, it offers good durability for jewelry. While often found in smaller sizes, larger, eye-clean specimens are highly prized by collectors. Spessartine's distinct color, often described as "mandarin orange," sets it apart from other Garnets, making it a sought-after gem for those seeking a unique and vibrant gemstone.
