About Pyrope-Spessartine

Pyrope-Spessartine is a garnet series blending the deep red of pyrope with the orange of spessartine, producing stones that shift through rich raspberry, orange-red, and color-change varieties including the famous Malaya and color-change garnets from East Africa. The proportions of iron, magnesium, and manganese in the crystal lattice determine the exact hue, resulting in an extraordinary range of warm tones. Gems from Tanzania and Kenya's Umba Valley are particularly prized for their vibrant color.
