0.91 ct Orange Garnet-Spessartite - Round

This 0.91-carat spessartite garnet is cut as a round measuring 5.8 x 3.8 mm, with an orange body color, sourced from Nigeria.

Spessartite is the manganese garnet that owns the orange end of the family, from honeyed tones to the saturated mandarin color collectors chase. Nigeria's gem fields came to prominence in the 1990s and remain a significant source of spessartite and other fine garnet. It is wholly untreated, its color finished by geology rather than by any furnace or enhancement. That is typical of garnet, one of the few gem families that reaches the market almost entirely untreated.

This is a center-stone-grade gemstone with a character of its own, chosen rather than settled for. Caveman Gems hand-selects every gemstone and photographs it in good light, to give you the truest look a screen can.
