Garnet Bracelet 8mm

Garnet is a group of minerals with similar crystal structures, but it includes several different species. The most commonly known types are pyrope, almandine, spessartine, grossular, and andradite. Garnets are found in many locations around the world, including Africa, India, Russia, Brazil, the United States, and more. Each species of garnet has its unique geological conditions for formation. For example, pyrope is often associated with peridotite rocks, while almandine is found in metamorphic rocks.

Garnets are known for their rich, deep colors, and they come in various shades including red, orange, yellow, green, purple, brown, and black. The most common color is a deep red, which is often associated with the term "garnet." The color variations are due to differences in the composition of the minerals within the garnet group. The crystals typically have a vitreous (glassy) to resinous luster. Garnets can form in a variety of crystal habits, including dodecahedrons, trapezohedrons, and rhombic dodecahedrons.

Garnet has been used as a gemstone for centuries and has cultural significance in many societies. It is often associated with passion, energy, and protection. Beyond its use in jewelry, garnet is utilized in industrial applications such as abrasives, waterjet cutting, and filtration systems.
