Spessartite Garnet (January Birthstone) ■Symbolic Meaning: Truth, Love, Loyalty, Vitality, etc. Its Japanese name is Manban-zakuishi, and its Mohs hardness is 7-7.5. Spessartite garnet is famously known as the birthstone for January. Garnets are called "zakuishi" in Japanese due to the resemblance of their raw crystal form to the ripe seeds of a pomegranate. The name is said to originate from the Latin word "granatus," meaning "seed," and it has been cherished since ancient times as a "symbol of fruition." Among the diverse colors of garnets, those with an orange hue are called "spessartite garnets," due to the presence of manganese in their composition. The name "spessartite" is derived from its discovery in "Spessart," southern Germany, in the mid-1800s. While spessartite garnet became known as a mineral in the 19th century, it only became widely circulated as jewelry in the 1990s. The discovery of high-quality rough stones in succession in Namibia, Nigeria, and Tanzania, followed by commercial mining, brought it attention in the colored gemstone market. Among these, the vivid and deep orange or reddish hues are specially treated as "mandarin garnets" and are highly popular. Alongside demantoid and tsavorite, it is a relatively rare garnet and a highly popular gemstone for jewelry. Its beauty and accessibility make it a recommended choice for a personal reward or a commemorative gift. *As natural stones are used, they may contain inclusions (cracks or internal imperfections) specific to the stone, or their shapes may vary slightly.
