Garnet Designs
Garnet
is a group of minerals that have been used since the Bronze Age as gemstones and
abrasives. Garnets are most often seen in red, but are available in a wide
variety of colours spanning the entire spectrum. The name "garnet" comes from
the Latin granatus ("grain"), possibly a reference to the Punica granatum
("pomegranate"), a plant with red seeds similar in shape, size, and colour to
some garnet crystals.
Six common species of garnet are recognized based on their chemical composition.
They are pyrope, almandine, spessartite, grossular (varieties of which are
hessonite or cinnamon-stone and tsavorite), uvarovite and andradite. The garnets
make up two solid solution series; 1. pyrope-almandine-spessarite and 2.
uvarovite-grossular-andradite.
