    "The sample was a little darker than I had expected, but that is o.k..
    Over all I am quite pleased with the sample. Wish I could have
    afforded the large sample."

    "This arrived and seems to be spessertite garnet grown via a propagation method similar to tree cuttings. It has been grown onto two brown crystals that have been honed to a point. The sample during the promo was white and the garnets really stood out. My order looks more like dead tree fungus. Going back."

    "MY husband ordered this specimen.
    He was pleased with the one he
    received. It is nice to have the
    cut gemstones and a specimen to
    show in the rough before a gem
    is cut."

    Fast Facts
    Malum granatum, Latin for garnet, refers to red pomegranate seeds.
    Found in many parts of the world and in a wide range of colors, garnet is a popular and exciting gemstone family.
    Spessartite is a rare garnet ranging from a yellowish-orange to an intense fiery orange known as mandarin garnet.




    Spessartite is a brilliant transparent gemstone. The colors of spessartite garnets can range from a bright vibrant orange to a deep red-orange color, and even some brownish and greenish oranges. 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 of hardness and, like all garnet, is untreated, so the beautiful color that you see is strictly as nature created it.

    Color
