Spessartine

Manganese aluminum garnet that could be a semiprecious gem when clear. Discovered combined with almandine, it ranges in color from pale orange yellow, when nearly pure, to orange or deep purple, when appreciable proportions of almandine are present. It's comparable in colour to grossular, but, in contrast to that species, it's commonly transparent. Spessartine is uncommon and, therefore, seldom utilized in jewelry. It is ordinarily found in granite, felsic lavas, pegmatite veins, and metamorphic rocks, as in central India, Madagascar, and Silver Cliff, Colo., U.S.
