    Product Description for Apx 6.00ct 14x10mm Cu Hessonite Garnet

    Hessonite is the brownish-orange variety of grossular garnet. It has been called the "cinnamon stone" because of the rich amber color of gem-quality hessonite. This stone exhibits an unusual "heat wave" texture that resembles the illusion or pattern visible when heat is viewed rising from a distant surface. Hessonite can be found in Sri Lanka, Brazil, and California. It ranks 6.5 to 7.5 on Mohs' hardness scale.

    "when I had more money to spend. It is much better than it looks in the Photo and I spent more than I probably should have for this stone, but I'm sure it is well worth the price. I have a beautiful crisp, clear, stone with royaling that looks like embers from the fireplace. Garnets are my favorite stones and I love them all, but there is something very special about the Hessonite garnet that no other stone has. Just delighted to have so many gorgeous stones. I feel I bought this at exactly the right time because as the supply dwindles, the price will go up!"
