A Fanta spessartite garnet (also known as spessartine) is a highly coveted variety of garnet celebrated for its vibrant, vivid orange color reminiscent of the popular soda. Named after manganese (which creates its fiery hue), this untreated, brilliant gem is a favorite among collectors and custom jewelry designers. 

Key Gemstone Characteristics

• Color Profile: Ranges from a bright, neon yellowish-orange to a deep, pure mandarin orange. The most expensive stones display a highly saturated "Fanta" orange. 
• Hardness & Durability: Scores a 7.0 to 7.5 on the Mohs scale, making it a highly durable stone suitable for everyday rings and necklaces. 
• Origin: While first discovered in Spessart, Germany, the finest vivid orange "Fanta" stones today are sourced primarily from African deposits in Nigeria, Namibia, and Tanzania. 
• Treatments: Unlike many other colored gems, Fanta spessartite garnets are almost universally unheated and untreated. The beauty you see is entirely natural. 
• Brilliance: Garnets feature a naturally high refractive index, giving them exceptional fire and sparkle when faceted properly
