Orange Grossular Garnet
Bright orange gems that look like Spessartite!

Orange Grossular Garnets range from a yellow-orange to orange to red-orange color. They are visually similar to their better-known cousin Spessartite.

Grossular Garnets have one of the widest color ranges of any species of Garnet, from near-colorless to yellows, oranges, greens and browns.
