Comment: Precisely the most wanted spessartite color: Fanta orange like the drink of old. Amongst the most attractive colors in the gem world, here affordable in a cabochon but with good clarity. A unique center piece for colorful jewelry, or just a sunny start in the day. Old stock from a Ceylon mine, long closed, and a rare find. In faceted gems this color has gone north of $1k/ct, making the $400 in this eight carats gem a bargain. Old, but reliable, gem-lab report can be renewed on request and free of charge. See various torch-play images for the crystal: swirly liquid streams of yellow and orange, or red in tungsten light.
