Physical properties

Formation & geological history

Natural garnets form in metamorphic rocks and some igneous rocks through mineral-rich geological processes; garnet deposits span a wide range of ages. These mounted stones may be natural, treated, or synthetic.

Uses & applications

Garnets are used in jewelry and, when not gem quality, as industrial abrasives; these appear to be earrings.

Geological facts

Garnet is a mineral group rather than a single species; almandine is a common red variety.

Field identification & locations

The dark-red color and faceted appearance are consistent with garnet, but glass and other red gems can look similar. Common sources include India, Sri Lanka, East Africa, and the United States.
