What is Garnet?
Garnet is a family of closely related silicate minerals. The deep red almandine and pyrope garnets are the best known, while others are orange (spessartine), green (grossular, demantoid) or even colour-changing.
Garnet naturally grows as round twelve-sided crystals (dodecahedra), often embedded in mica schist, and is mined widely in India and Africa.
