The present sources of the stone are Sri Lanka, Burma, Madagascar, Brazil, Australia, and U.S.A. The different species are pyrope, almandine, spessartine, grossular (varieties of which are hessonite or cinnamon-stone and tsavorite), uvarovite and andradite. The garnets make up two solid solution series: pyrope-almandine-spessarite and uvarovite-grossular-andradite. Spessarite stone provides a grounding energy that focuses on career success, empowerment and productivity. This is a stone for inspiration and creative passion. While the Smoky Quartz is very protective makes a great combo.
