Scientific Information: Hessonite is a variety of the GARNET group, specifically a GROSSULAR garnet, with a distinctive orange to reddish-brown color primarily due to its manganese content. While iron can also affect the color to some extent, manganese is the main contributor to Hessonite's unique hue. More or less orange (due to small iron content in the form of Fe3+) variety of Grossular garnet. Unlike other garnets such as PYROPE and ALMANDINE, which are typically red to deep purple, Hessonite's color and properties are distinct. Grossular garnets, which include Hessonite, can also be green or colorless, differentiating them from other types in the garnet family.
Photos: The photos are taken in a dedicated set with strong lighting. We strive to avoid altering the color of the specimens shown. However, it is advised to keep the minerals in well-lit places to fully appreciate their color.
