## Gemology

   Gemstone Information

* Garnet is the traditional birthstone for January, the zodiacal stone for Capricorn and the second anniversary stone.
* Garnets have a Mohs hardness of 7.0-7.5 and are found in the U.S. (Arizona), South Africa, Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Myanmar (Burma), Scotland, Switzerland and Tanzania.
* Garnets are formed when high temperatures and/or pressure is a factor and geologists often use garnets as a gauge of the amount of temperature and pressure that was present during their formation.
* Although red is the most commonly occurring color, garnet is available in a veritable plethora of colors, such as yellow, orange, peach, green, purple, blue (rare), brown and pink.
	+ Garnet also rarely occurs in color-change varieties, which have a different color depending on whether they are viewed in incandescent or natural light.
		- The rarest color-change garnet appears blue in daylight, and changes to purplish-red under torch light.
* Garnet is not a single mineral, but a group containing closely related, isomorphous minerals that form a series with each other. Most garnets have chemical formulas following the pattern of X3Y2(SiO4)3.
	+ Garnet is a gem group that occurs in over twenty varieties. Of these varieties, six main types are used as gems. These are pyrope, almandine, spessartite, grossularite, andradite and uvarovite.
		- Pyrope, almandine, and spessartine form a solid solution series, which means that they can all exist together in a single crystal, collectively, they are known as pyralspite garnets. This is also the case for andradite, grossular and uvarovite, which form the ugrandite group.
* Garnets are associated with strength, bravery, love, determination and self-confidence, all characteristics that fit in with Garnet's personality.
	+ In more New Age style beliefs, garnets are known as stones that provide protection to their users from evil.
	+ Few Garnets have become famous, but a few famous pieces of jewelry have garnet exclusive decoration.
	+ One famous garnet is the bright green tsavorite, going by 68.82 carats.

* Garnets are often used for industrial purposes such as water filtration, waterjet cutting, and abrasive blasting.
