Discover our fanta garnet collection, a vivid orange spessartite garnet loose gemstone prized for its intense, glowing hue. The trade nickname "fanta garnet" describes the most sought-after colour range: a pure, saturated orange resembling the soft-drink namesake, without brownish or yellowish undertones.
Fanta garnet is a trade name for top-colour spessartite garnet, a naturally occurring mineral coloured by manganese. Genuine fanta garnet is always untreated. Heat and other enhancements do not work on this species. Sri Lankan and Namibian deposits produce the most desirable specimens, and supply is limited relative to demand.
Clean fanta garnet above 1 carat is already considered collector-grade; above 2 carats the price-per-carat increases significantly. Our 1.55ct radiant-cut fanta garnet is Ceylon-origin, certified, and priced at $800 AUD. That is a strong value-to-colour ratio in the fanta category.
Fanta garnet is a trade name used in the jewellery industry for the finest pure-orange spessartite garnet. All fanta garnets are spessartite, but not all spessartite qualifies as fanta. Only stones with the distinctive vivid orange hue qualify.
No. Spessartite (fanta) garnet is not treated. Any colour you see is natural.
