Spessartine is a punchy, bold orange variety of Garnet that can range in hue from pumpkin to almost neon. East African spessartines are something to behold–the miners there call the mandarin colors “Fanta stones”--they have an irresistible glow and are show-stoppers when set in pieces of jewelry. 

Garnet is the birthstone for the month of January.
