1.81 Ct. Spessartite Garnet from Nigeria

Imagine holding a piece of sunset in your hand, a radiant orange spessartite garnet that warms the heart and sparks joy the instant light catches its facets. This transparent 1.81 carat gem, cut in a radiant shape with dimensions of 7.41 x 5.60 x 4.57 mm, shines with an intense color intensity and an excellent polish that sings with brilliance. Evaluated as slightly included at eye level, it retains a delightful clarity that allows its lively orange to glow from within, unenhanced and wholly natural. Mined in Nigeria and presented by The Natural Gemstone Company, this spessartite is a storyteller stone, ready to become the centerpiece of a proposal, a birthday surprise, or a treasured heirloom passed down with love.

When you compare its hue and tone to other famous gemstones, this Nigerian spessartite stands apart with its vivid, warm orange that leans toward a bright tangerine rather than a deep pumpkin, offering a more luminous and energetic presence. Compared to the classic Mandarin garnets of Namibia, which often show an almost neon orange tone, this gem is slightly softer and more romantic, its tone carrying a gentle golden undertone that feels inviting rather than electric. Against spessartites from Madagascar and Brazil that can range from pale peach to coppery orange, the Nigerian stone shows a happier, more saturated orange that catches the eye and the heart. In contrast to the rare padparadscha sapphires of Sri Lanka, known for their delicate pinkish orange balance, this spessartite embraces a purer orange warmth, bolder and more joyful, perfect for someone who wants their jewelry to speak with confident color. The combination of radiant cut, excellent polish, natural origin, and intense color intensity makes this garnet a rare opportunity, a gem that promises to kindle affection and create lasting memories, only from The Natural Gemstone Company.
