Mandarin Spessartite Garnet is one of the most prized (and gorgeous) garnets with gem collectors. It's spectacular orange color is extraordinary. Unfortunately, the mines for the best Mandarin Garnet (Namibia) are almost depleted, and material coming from there is getting harder to find. This garnet is from Namibia.
