What Is Hessonite Garnet?
Hessonite Garnet is a variety of Grossular Garnet, admired for its orange to reddish-brown color. It is commonly known as the “Cinnamon Stone” due to its warm, honeyed appearance.
The name Hessonite comes from the Greek word “hēssōn”, meaning “inferior,” referring to its slightly lower density compared to other garnet varieties—not its beauty or value.
