These beautiful Nigerian Spessartines were coming out steadily several years ago, but now seem to be a dwindling treasure. This stone has such a rich, saturated fiery orange color that is beautiful. It glitters and flashes nicely, but the color is the dominant feature. This stone is an Octagon shape and has been Concave cut to enhance the light return. This gem is brilliant and will make a stunning piece of jewelry! It is completely natural and untreated.  Apprentice cut at Kosnar Gems, Colorado, USA.  Enjoy!
