Hessonite Garnet from the Jeffrey Mine in Quebec, Canada, a location known for producing high-quality garnets with exceptional clarity and color. Hessonite, a variety of grossular garnet, is distinguished by its warm reddish-orange hues and unique internal inclusions often described as a "treacle" effect. These inclusions are a natural characteristic of hessonite and help gemologists identify the stone. Jeffrey Mine is no longer actively producing, making garnets from this source increasingly rare.
