Mined from Tanzania, this gorgeous Spessartite Garnet displays the most incredible hue, revealing the classic orangey coloration for which the stone is so highly prized.

Expertly cut into an octagonal shape with sharp, well-defined step-cut faceting, the gemstone is eye-clean and has been polished to a high standard. Sourced from Africa, it is in overall excellent condition, with only one small nick along a table facet. A standout within the popular Garnet group, this gem is especially noteworthy for its size and vibrant color.
