It is worked in a \u003cstrong\u003epear cut\u003c\/strong\u003e and is \u003cstrong\u003euntreated\u003c\/strong\u003e — colour and clarity are as they were laid down in the rough material. Like every stone from our workshop it is a unique piece, available only once.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pear cut demands a clean tip: it is the most vulnerable point of the stone and at the same time the one the eye falls on first. With a material of this luminosity the faceting of the pavilion is decisive — it throws the light back rather than letting it disappear downwards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout spessartine\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpessartine is the orange member of the garnet group, coloured by manganese. It is named after the Spessart, where it was first described — though the finest material never came from there, but from Namibia, Nigeria and indeed from Loliondo in Tanzania. In the trade this luminous orange goes by the name mandarin garnet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGarnets are practically never treated; the colour grew the way you see it. With a Mohs hardness of 7 to 7.5, spessartine is well suited to jewellery. It is more brittle than corundum, though — for rings a setting that protects the edges is worth it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStone type: spessartine (garnet group)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 1.31 ct\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: Loliondo, Tanzania\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCut shape: pear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTreatment: none, untreated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCutting: our own workshop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLocation: Austria\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailability: unique piece, one only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFurther single pieces can be found under \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/spessartin\"\u003eSpessartine\u003c\/a\u003e, rare species beyond it under \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/weitere-edelsteine\"\u003eMore gemstones\u003c\/a\u003e.
