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:
