This 100.00 ct parcel of Savannah Ember Spessartite Garnet from Congo includes 110 small crystals originally mistaken for zircon due to their golden, honey-toned brilliance. Later confirmed to be pure endmember Spessartite, this material displays an unexpected, refined color more reminiscent of honey zircon than classic orange garnet.
 
Fun Fact: These gems were initially misidentified as zircon until gemological testing revealed their true Spessartite composition, making them a rare and fascinating twist on a well-known garnet species.
