Spessartite This garnet is named after Spessart, Bavaria.
Spessartite is somewhat rare. As with the other garnets, it always occurs in a blend with other species. Gems with the highest spessartite content are a light orange. Those with an almandine content are reddish, to red brown in hue.
The most valuable spessarties are a bright, orangish red. These come from Ramona, California, and Amelia, Virginia.
