Whats your favorite garnet color?

[innerkitten]

I tend to like all the greens, hessonite have started to like the pinkish malaya colors too.

 

[kcoursolle]

demantoid, tsavorite, spessartite, malaya, umba, rhod, ...in that order...but I love garnets in general, I don''t discriminate.

Without a doubt, tsavorite, but I like spessartite too!

I like hessonite best

 

[Kaleigh]

Tsavorite is my fav.

I have a large red Hessonite cushion which I love (red is my color)

. But, my tiny limey-grass green Demantoid! What fire and sparkle from a 1/4 ct stone.

And then there''s the melon spessartite ring...hmmm. Guess I can''t really pick a "favorite." Garnets come in all colors except blue...is that neat a neat stone or what?

I love them all, but demantoid is my favorite.

you guys need to post some pictures if you''re going to have a colorful garnet thread!!! come on!!

BTW I envy the people born in months like garnet and sapphire who can basically choose their own colors... why couldn''t may have been "beryl" month because I''d vastly prefer a nice morganite LOL!!!
