Sentences with HESSONITE (5)
Certain stones, notably the peridot (or chrysolite) and the hessonite (or cinnamon stone), have an oily luster.
Such "golden fancies" can be distinguished from other brown stones (except perhaps brown zircons) by their adamantine luster, and their prismatic play or "fire." Brown garnet (hessonite or cinnamon stone), sometimes wrongly called hyacinth in the trade, is of a deep reddish-brown color.
The types are (1) _Almandite_ garnet; (2) _Pyrope_ garnet; (3) _Hessonite_ garnet; and (4) _Andradite_ garnet.
These are all silicates, the almandite garnets being silicates of iron and aluminum; the pyrope garnets are silicates of magnesium and aluminum; the hessonite garnets, silicates of calcium and aluminum, and the andradite garnets, silicates of calcium and iron.
Red zircon, which is rare, is properly called "_hyacinth_." Many Hessonite garnets (cinnamon stones) are incorrectly called hyacinths, however.
