1.05 ct Orange Garnet-Spessartite - Pear

This 1.05-carat spessartite garnet is cut as a pear measuring 6 x 4.1 x 3.1 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 real, natural spessartite garnet you can wear without a second thought, the genuine article at an easy size. Caveman Gems hand-selects every gemstone and films it in good light, to give you the truest look a screen can.
