Purchased from JTV October 2003...from a personal collection / hoard Lot: G5V001 from JTV's Gemopedia: Nicknamed the "cinnamon stone", hessonite is a variety of grossular
garnet and comes in two colors, golden and cinnamon. A perfectly colored
hessonite is a bright golden orange that resembles a combination of
honey and orange with an internal fire. Some hessonites have tints of
red and brown with cinnamon appearance. Hessonite is common in the gem
gravels of Sri Lanka and practically all hessonite is obtained from this
locality, although it is also found in Africa. While the clearest gems
are most prized, inclusions in hessonite are common, with unique
toffee-like streaks giving hessonite an oily or even glass-like
appearance.
