    Product Description for Min 1.50ct 8x6mm Oval Spessartite Garnet-RSV8606A

    The colors of spessartite garnets can range from a bright vibrant orange to a deep red-orange color. Spessartite was once just a collector's gem but moved into mainstream gemology in the 1990s. Spessartite is 6.5 to 7.5 on the Mohs' scale and, like all garnet, is untreated, so the beautiful color that you see is strictly as nature created it.

    "This is a very nice quality stone, but it looked orange on TV. When I opened the package, I thought they sent me a cherry red andesine by mistake. If you like the red stones, go ahead and get this. It's just not what I was expecting, and it's going back."
