The cut

Step cut

Top view
10.57 mm4.62
Side profile

Long, parallel facets step down from a large flat table to the edge, like a staircase. Light moves across the stone in broad, clean flashes rather than sparkle, so its colour and clarity are easy to see.

  • Broad, mirror-like flashes
  • Colour and clarity on show
  • Calm, architectural look

Fanta is the pure, glowing orange that spessartite is prized for. The step cut shows it in long, clear flashes, and at over 4 carats it is a generous size for the colour.

Eye clean, with no heat and no treatment.
