The most talked about colors of spessartine is orange: Fanta color, Mandarin color, etc. Orange-red spessartine garnet has not received much attention because red spessartine generally has a dark brown color. But there are also a few bright orange-red spessartite that have amazing looks and deserve attention.
The picture shows the performance of a 24.3ct sample of bright orange-red spessartine garnet under natural light.

Amazing, as usual, @landscape!

Seems so unlike a garnet -- looks like a candy!

Thanks. This is a spessartite with a very unique color. I speculate that it may be a hybrid like malaya garnet, but it is more intense in color than the usual malaya garnet.

Supplement the performance of this Spessartine in the sun. I believe that there is not much red Spessartine without dark area in strong sunlight, because red Spessartine is usually dark body. Under strong sunlight, anti -fire and body color will have strong contrasts, forming dark area.
This Spessartine is not dark body, so there will be no obvious dark area in the sun
