Garnet

Unlike most other gem species, whose individual types are essentially the same exact mineral with only slight variations in coloring agents, the Garnets are an unusual group of silicates whose chemical compositions often vary significantly from stone to stone. Another thing that differentiates them from other familiar mineral "families" (like Quartz) is that considerable intermixing of these coloring (or "doping") agents can occur within samples from the same region, or even the same mine! As such, Garnet varieties tend to represent ranges of approximate chemical composition, rather than fixed points on a graph. This is why two Almandites, for example, or two Spessartites can appear drastically different, and yet wear the same varietal name. The names of the different Garnet varieties (i.e. the more or less "ideal" points along the Garnet spectrum) are:

Almandine (or Almandite):
Pyrope:
Grossular:
Andradite:
Spessartine (or Spessartite): and
Uvarovite:
