About Hessonite

La hessonita es la variedad de granate grossular de color naranja-canela, miel o naranja-amarillento, históricamente conocida como 'granate canela' o 'jacinto de Ceilán'. La mayoría del material comercial proviene de Sri Lanka y el valle de Aosta, Italia, donde ha sido explotada durante siglos. Su interna, característica turbidez granular ('efecto de aceite de hormiga') causada por inclusiones de diópsido y apatito es diagnóstica; los ejemplares de alta claridad con color naranja vívido son los más apreciados.
