Grossular

Additionally known as grossularite , or gooseberry garnet. A calcium aluminum garnet that sometimes resembles the gooseberry fruit. It can be colourless (when pure), white, yellow, brown, purple, or green. Large greenish grossular, though solely superficially resembling jade, is sometimes marketed below the title South African, or Transvaal, jade in an attempt to increase its selling price. Almost all grossular used for faceted gems is orange to reddish brown. The reddish brown material is known as cinnamon stone, or hessonite. Grossular typically exhibits inside swirls, which help to distinguish it from spessartine, which is clear. It is ordinarily found in metamorphic rocks.
