Pyrope: Mineral information, data and localities.
Blood red, orange red, purple red, pink, black red, colorless.
From the Greek "pyropos", "fiery-eyed", in allusion to the red hue.
Almandine-Pyrope Series, Knorringite-Pyrope Series, Pyrope-Grossular Series.
Occurs predominantly in ultrabasic igneous rocks.
Pure end-member pyrope is colorless! (but rare).
Visit gemdat.org for gemological information about Pyrope.
Chromian Pyrope A chrome-rich variety of pyrope.
Titanian Pyrope A Ti variety of Pyrope associated with kimberlites.
Umbalite Originally described from Umba River (Umba Valley), Tanga Region, Tanzania in 1978.
