Spessartite garnet derives its extraordinary 'Fanta' orange from manganese — and the intensity of that orange is a direct measure of manganese content, making each stone's color a chemical signature of its specific deposit.
This 3.26 cts Spessartite Garnet of Orange hue from Nigeria was selected for the Skyjems Archive not as an afterthought, but as a deliberate acquisition. It is entirely unheated and untreated — a distinction that places it in the top fraction of the global Spessartite Garnet supply and is the single most important value driver in the collector market. Nigeria's Jos Plateau is among the world's finest sources of vivid spessartite garnet — producing the 'Fanta' orange saturation that defines the collector's benchmark.
