Exceptional Spessartite Garnet
Nigeria
Named after its original source in Spessart, Germany, the best deposits are presently found in Africa. Spessartite garnets of a reddish-orange color with excellent clarity normally do not exceed three carats in weight. Generally, large gems of spessartite garnet are either dark with unattractive color and/or inclusions. This is a gem-quality spessartite of reddish orange hue which has been faceted as an oval mixed-cut. The combination of large size, superb luster, brilliance and transparency contribute to this stone being an exceptional offering for the knowledgeable collector. Weighing approximately 41.76 carats and measuring 21.09 x 16.86 x 13.08mm
