Fanta stone, also known as orange garnet, is a kind of garnet (some stones, manganese aluminum garnet) that reaches the quality level of gemstones. From the color point of view, Fanta stone is orange garnet, without earthy tones, and the color is bright orange. And its color clarity is limited by its internal iron content.
When the iron content is high, Fanta stone appears orange and brownish red tones; When the iron content is low, Fanta stone is golden orange, and there are more garnets with golden orange. This golden orange is very similar to the color of Fanta drink, so it is named "Fanta Stone".
Brief introduction of rocks
Although this gem was discovered long ago, it rarely appeared in jewelry in the next 100 years. The fundamental reason is that its output is very small. It was not until A.D.1990s that large new mineral deposits were discovered in Namibia and Mozambique, and manganese aluminum garnet began to become a popular gem. But Fanta Stone was not very famous at that time.
Fanta stone is beautiful in color, but there are few large diamonds. Just like garnet, a diamond is only a few carats, and a 3-carat stone is very big, so a large carat Fanta stone is very rare. Fanta stone is very popular in European and American markets because it is so rare and has strong light.
