    Product Description for Min 1.05ctw 5mm Round Hessonite Garnet Set Of 2

    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.

    "The online picture looks very brown, which is what I was actually looking for, but these are a deep orange. Still very pretty, so I'm keeping them, but I thought the color would be more distinct from the other garnet shades I already have. Nice sparkle, and the pair is well matched, so I'd recommend them if you're looking for a warm sparkling orange set."
