Garnet Sphere 60mm Wt: 514g (Brazil)

Garnet is a silicate group of minerals 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. 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 word Garnet derives from Gernet meaning “dark red” and the word “Granatus'' meaning grain or seed, in reference to its resemblance to a Pomegranate. Traditionally the Garnet group of minerals is composed of 6 sub-minerals: Almandine, Pyrope, Spessartine, Andradite, Grossular, and Uvaroite. Deposits of Garnet can be found all over the world.
