Garnet Rough Piece in Display Box

Almandine also known incorrectly as almandite is a species of mineral belonging to the garnet Group. There is a misconception that Garnets are only a red gem but in fact they come in a variety of colours including purple red orange yellow green brown black or colourless. The name Garnet comes from the Latin granatus a grain possibly in reference to malum granatum (pomegranate) a plant with red seeds similar in shape size and colour to some Garnet Crystals.

Please Note: Natural gemstone or semi-precious stone comes from mineral. Due to the naturality, the stones may have a tiny flaw. Meanwhile, cutting or polishing also makes every piece of gemstone vary in colour and size. The image may look different (colour) due to many monitor or device resolutions.
