Welcome to SuchenGems!
Spessartine is a rare, semiprecious gemstone that's a member of the garnet family and is typically orange in color:
Color
Spessartine can range in color from yellow to orange to red, and sometimes appears brownish. The most valuable colors are rich oranges and vibrant reddish-oranges. The bright orange variety of spessartine is known by the trade name mandarin garnet.
Composition
Spessartine is a manganese aluminum garnet that often contains other elements, such as iron, in small amounts. The amount of iron or almandine garnet present in the stone determines its color. For example, gems with a reddish to red-brown hue have a higher almandine content and a higher refractive index.
Origin
Spessartine was discovered in the Spessart Mountains in Germany in the mid-19th century, and the name comes from the location. Today, the top sources of spessartine are Nigeria, Tanzania, and Namibia.
Uses
Spessartine is rarely used in jewelry because it's so rare.
Crystallography
Spessartine crystals can be euhedral, dodecahedra, or trapezohedra, and can grow up to 10 cm in size.

Why are users outbidding themselves?
When a bid is placed, this is the maximum amount a person is willing to bid for the product. Our system will then automatically bid on behalf of the bidder, incrementally increasing the bid up to the maximum to maintain their position as the highest bidder.
When there is an icon indicating 'Automatic Bid', it means our system is actively placing bids for the bidder based on their maximum bid. This may appear as if bidders are outbidding themselves, but it's simply a result of the system updating the bid to reflect the bidders maximum limit.
