Garnet Orange/Red- 5.05ct

Found in the ruins of ancient Greece, Rome and Egypt, garnet jewelry has been in use for centuries. One of the biblical 12 tribes of Israel used garnet as a symbol. Garnet gets its name from the ancient Romans who used a Latin word for pomegranate.

Mention garnets and most people think of a dark, red stone, but garnets come in every color except blue.

The first deposits of the orange spessartite garnets were first found in the District of Spessart in Bavaria, Germany in the 1990’s. Due to this origin of the gem, this garnet was named the spessartite garnet. The spessartite gem was once the rarest gem among the garnet group and was mainly popular as a collector’s gem.

Each of these gemstones is exclusive and unique as the person who owns it.Small variations in color from the one visible in the photograph are possible but every single piece available under this line of Karma Mantra’s Gemstones isIGITL Certified (International Gemological Institute & Testing Laboratory).
