Mozambique Garnet
Close your eyes and dream a little: Africa. In the East of Mozambique, the evening sky glows orange-red over quiet hills and a solitary river. Swiftly, the raw crystals found their way on to the market via a few gemstone cutting-centres. Most of them were faceted, this being the best way to bring out their incomparable colour and brilliance. Until then, spessartines had been found in Sri Lanka, Upper Burma, Madagascar, Brazil, Australia, Kenya and Tanzania, and yet they were practically unknown in jewellery, catering mainly to the interests of gemstone lovers and collectors. The reason for this rather shadowy existence was a simple one: specimens with really good colour and quality were only found very rarely indeed. The fantastic crystals from Mozambique on the other hand, were of an unusually fine, intensely radiant orange.
