{"product_id":"45mm-spessartine-garnet-round-pair-92135","title":"4.5mm Spessartine Garnet Round Pair | Mandarin Orange Spessartite | Tanzania | GS125","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis matched pair of 4.5 x 3.7mm faceted rounds totals 0.82 carats and displays an intense, vivid orange that is the defining color characteristic of fine Spessartine — a saturation and brightness that few gemstones in any color category can rival at this price point. Spessartine's exceptional refractive index produces a brilliance and light return that makes even a small stone command immediate visual attention, and an excellent cut of the caliber seen here maximizes that natural optical potential, ensuring the orange color is evenly distributed across the face of each stone with no extinction or windowing. Matched pairs of this color intensity and cut quality at a calibrated 4.5mm are not easy to source, as the selection process required to find two stones with consistent color, tone, and brilliance from the same parcel significantly reduces yield from already limited fine material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpessartine, also known as Spessartite Garnet or Mandarin Garnet when found in the most vivid and pure orange expressions, is a manganese aluminum garnet whose color is driven directly by its manganese content — the higher the manganese, the more intense and pure the orange. Tanzania is a significant and respected source for fine spessartine, producing material with a characteristically clean, bright orange that sits at the purer end of the color range with minimal brownish or reddish modifiers — a color profile that distinguishes Tanzanian material as among the most desirable in the market. At 4.5mm, this pair is ideally proportioned for earring work across a wide range of settings, and the calibrated round format ensures compatibility with standard findings and bezels — delivering a stone with the visual drama of a much larger gem in a practical, versatile package.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDETAILS\u003cbr\u003e\nOrigin: Tanzania\u003cbr\u003e\nSpecies: Garnet\u003cbr\u003e\nVariety: Spessartine (Spessartite \/ Mandarin Garnet)\u003cbr\u003e\nCut: Faceted Round\u003cbr\u003e\nSize: 4.5 x 3.7mm\u003cbr\u003e\nWeight: 0.82 ct total (pair)\u003cbr\u003e\nSold: Per Pair\u003cbr\u003e\nTreatment: None\u003cbr\u003e\nHardness: 7 – 7.5 (Mohs)\u003cbr\u003e\nRefractive Index: 1.790 – 1.820\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gem Enthusiast","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47639704240315,"sku":"GS125","price":79.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0639\/8214\/1627\/files\/45mm-spessartine-garnet-round-pair-mandarin-orange-spessartite-tanzania-gs125-3245958.jpg?v=1774884912","url":"https:\/\/gementhusiast.shop\/products\/45mm-spessartine-garnet-round-pair-92135","provider":"Gem Enthusiast","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
