The + of this product
Garnet refers to a family of minerals from the nesosilicate group crystallizing in the cubic crystal system. Gem quality garnets are fine stones.
Used alone, the term garnet is synonymous with pyrope-almandine.
Garnets are formed from three silicate groups associated with metal cations, of general formula X32+Y23+[SiO4]3, where X and Y are charged ions with 2 and 3 positive charges respectively.
The structure consists of a three-dimensional network of octahedrons and tetrahedra which share vertices: in the space between these polyhedra we find cavities in the shape of a triangular dodecahedron, in which the 8-coordinated bivalent cations are placed. These cavities can be described as tetragonal antiprisms deformed in such a way that the vertices are no longer coplanar.
Depending on the presence or absence of calcium, two groups of garnets are distinguished:
calcic garnets or ougrandites (OUvarovite GRossular ANDradite);
aluminous garnets, or pyralspites (PYRope ALmandin SPessartite).
Ti occurs up to 1% in almandine and 5% in melanites, black varieties of andradite (we can even reach 20% Ti). Yttrium can be used in other garnets such as spessartines which can contain up to 5% Y2O3 or Zn.
Garnets are used in jewelry to make various jewelry.
