Spessartite Garnet is a rare garnet with high R.I. Highly Lustrous gem and comes in beautiful shades of Yellow-Orange-red.
Spessartite is a rare form of garnet with an unusually high index of refraction. It has always been a rare stone. Recent discoveries in Mozambique and Nigeria led to an increase in production over the last two years. Although the output was significant, the percentage of fine material in larger sizes was very small.
