Pear Genuine Faceted Garnet

Garnet is not a single mineral but a group of closely related minerals sharing the same crystal structure while varying in chemical composition. Red is the most common and abundant color, though garnet has been found in nearly every color — from oranges and browns to bright greens. Found in metamorphic rock on every continent, garnet has a rich history and is even said to have been used as a lamp on Noah's ark. These pear-shaped genuine faceted garnets are offered in A Quality and are suitable for setting in fine jewelry, metal clay work, and more.

Care: Clean with warm soapy water. Use of ultrasonic is usually safe. Avoid use of a steam cleaner.
