Collection: Garnet

Garnet is a family of closely related minerals rather than one stone. Most red garnet is almandine, pyrope, or a mix of the two.

Varieties and Trade Names

Orange garnet is usually spessartine, or hessonite, an orange-brown form of grossular. Rhodolite is a rose-red to purple-red garnet. Green garnets include tsavorite and demantoid, which are much rarer. You may also see Transvaal or African jade, which is actually a green grossular garnet.
