Discover Natural Spessartite Garnet – Bright Orange Gems for Custom Jewelry

What Makes Spessartite Garnet Unique

Spessartite garnet, also known as spessartine, is celebrated for its intense orange hues that range from tangerine and vivid mandarin to rich reddish-orange. These gemstones belong to the garnet family but stand out with their exceptional brilliance and high refractive index, offering fire and sparkle rarely matched by other orange stones.

From Jewelry-Grade to Collector Quality

At MdMaya Gems, we focus on untreated, natural spessartites selected for their color saturation, clarity, and expert cutting. Whether you seek a bold centerpiece for a custom ring or a rare gem for your collection, our handpicked spessartites deliver unmatched intensity and character.

Color, Light, and Clarity

These garnets are often eye-clean or slightly included, with inclusions typical of their origin (such as crystal needles or liquid inclusions). Their vivid colors pair beautifully with warm or neutral metals, making them versatile in custom designs. Faceted stones reveal exceptional brilliance thanks to their optical properties.
