Spessartine forms a solid solution series with the garnet species almandine.

At Broken Hill, Australia, it is combined with galene and spessartine.

The Mandarin Garnet is the most valuable variety of Spessartine, discovered in Kunene, Namibia.

Spessartine of an orange-yellow has been called Mandarin garnet and is found in Madagascar.

It is mainly composed of quartz, spessartine (manganese garnet) and micas.

Spessartine, a member of the garnet group, is a rare mineral at Mont Saint-Hilaire.

Thus, the first degradation results from an increase of quartz at the expense of spessartine.

The minerals in aluminium-garnet group are almandine, grossularite, pyrope, and spessartine.

Some of the orange garnets, like spessartine and hessonite, often have eye-visible inclusions.

The presence of manganese garnets, that is to say spessartine, is inherent to the term "coticule".

In addition, the general texture derived from the schistosity has created strings of crystals aligned with spessartine.

The pyralspite series name is also based upon its minerals: pyrope, Mg3Al2(SiO4)3, almandine, Fe3Al2(SiO4)3, and spessartine, Mn3Al2(SiO4)3.
