spessartite (n.)

锰石榴石，1853年，早期的 spessartine（1837年），源自法语 spessartine（1832年），源自巴伐利亚州的 Spessart 地区，那里发现了这种石头。

Common garnet generally contains manganese as a component ; which is observable in the colour of the globule that results from melting it with soda. One variety, which contains no lime, has been called spessartine, from its locality, Spessart. ["Conversations on Mineralogy," 1837]

普通的石榴石通常含有锰作为组成部分； 这可以从与苏打一起熔化后得到的小球的颜色中观察到。一种不含石灰的品种被称为 spessartine，因其产地 Spessart 而得名。["矿物学对话"，1837年]
