Spessartite garnet. Named after the Spessart district in Bavaria, Germany. Can be confused with other garnets and imperial topaz. Natural spessartine has an orange color, but iron impurities are usually present, giving it a reddish or brownish color. Spessartine itself is not a common garnet, and is usually not found as transparent, gem quality material. Orange, pink, and brownish-red gems and cabochons are cut from this garnet. Spessartine is one of the lesser-known garnets, as it does not have any superior attributes over the other garnets (and it is rather uncommon). A purplish-red to violet garnet, known as grape garnet, is an intermediary between spessartine and almandine. TECHNICAL DETAILS
