Mineral
Garnet (likely Almandine or a blend)
Garnet group: X3Y2(SiO4)3, where X can be Ca, Mg, Fe2+, Mn2+ and Y can be Al, Fe3+, Cr3+. Given the dark, somewhat reddish-brown appearance in the image, it's likely Almandine (Fe3Al2(SiO4)3) or a mix with other iron-rich garnets.
Mineral
Garnet (Red Garnet)
Garnet Group. The red varieties seen in jewelry are typically Almandine (Fe3Al2(SiO4)3), Pyrope (Mg3Al2(SiO4)3), or a mix of the two (pyrope-almandine series).
