We purchased several 2.5mm Spessartine Garnet gemstones from a source in Madagascar and set three of them is a Sterling Silver Pendant designed and created by Robert Michael.
 
Most people think of Garnet as a reddish gemstone.  However, there are eight main color varieties of Garnet found throughout the world, including shades of red, orange, pink, green, black and honey brown.  Due to the presence of iron atoms in a Garnet molecular structure, colors will range from red, orange to brown.  The presence of Vanadium or Chromium atoms produce various shades of green.
 
Garnet is the January Birthstone.
