Garnet is actually a set of closely related minerals that form the Garnet group. While all members share the same crystal structure, they vary in chemical composition. Red is the most common and abundant color, but garnet has been found in nearly every color — from oranges and browns to vivid greens. Garnet occurs in metamorphic rock on every continent and has a rich history of use as a gemstone throughout the ages. These marquise-cut genuine faceted garnets are offered in A Quality and are well suited for jewelry fabrication, stone setting practice, and resale.
