Pink Emerald prices are now at around $450 per carat for some of the smaller stones (<3 carats) in lighter colors, and range to upwards of $10,000 per carat for large stones with rich color.
Oh Great Voyager from the Future, tell us more about that terrifying hyperinflation!
Pyrope (bright red to dark brick-red), Rhodolite (pinkish-red), Almandine (deep violet-red), Spessartite (orange-pink to orange-red with brownish yellow), Spessartine (midway between almondine and spessartite), Hessonite (honey-yellow to yellow-brown), Grossularite (light yellowish-green to strong bluish-green), and Anaradite (honey-yellow=trapazolite, green=demantoid, blackish-red to black=melanite).
In case you ever wanted to know the difference between spessartite and spessartine.
I always had it down to the fact that Yanks can't spell

The insight about the spess, or about the Yanks?
It was deep in that awesomegems website. However, when you type sections of the above garnet descriptions into Google, loads of crappy Thailand-based retail websites come up. It seems they were all drawing on the same very unreliable teat.
Anyway, as for the nomenclature, in the back of my mind I was sure the difference between 'spessartite' and 'spessartine' was that the former was the official US-spelling, and the latter was the rest of the world. However, I can't find anything online about this, so I must have just imagined it.
