Jewelry Grade Spessartine Stone Navegadora Mine Brazil

CT 5.40

Grams 1.09

Spessartine is a manganese-aluminum garnet prized for its vibrant orange to red-orange colors, which are caused by its manganese content. It has a Mohs hardness of 6.5–7.5, making it durable for jewelry, though large, eye-clean specimens are rare. Key sources include Sri Lanka, Brazil, and Madagascar, with historic deposits in California and recent finds in Nigeria and Namibia

The Navegadora Mine, also called the Orozimbo Mine, is a location in Minas Gerais, Brazil, famous for producing high-quality, beautiful, and often etched spessartine garnet crystals, particularly in the mid-to-late 1990s and early 2000s. These crystals are known for their sharpness, luster, gemminess, and intricate, geometric, stepped growth features that create a unique and mesmerizing surface texture
