Namibian (if we could still find it) and Loliondo are said to be the source of pure vivid orange Fanta or mandarin garnet. Should one simply rule out other origins like Nigeria if searching for one?
I am talking about the truly neon one that stay lit in the widest range of lightings, and no dark tone is wanted.

Only one thought came to mind, how provoking your post comes across. Have at it all. Truly neon only, quantifiable by the eye of the beholder. I guess it was more than one.
I don't think it's too provocative--that's how the highest grade orange spessartines are generally described, and whether it's easy to quantify it shouldn't be too hard to distinguish with two stones side by side. Certainly there is a lot of sales patter about origin on that, but I don't know enough to be sure on whether it's truly just patter.

Stephen,
I have two pieces of Namibian from the original strike. Both are rounds. I do not have myself, but a friend has about 100 grams of rough purchased in 2007 in Tucson. If you’d like more info, let me know.
