Almandine Garnet (Pyrope)

Almandine Garnet stone is a very high-quality Garnet stone. Carbuncle stone is another name for red almandine stone. Garnet is derived from the Latin word “granatus,” which means grain. Garnet deposits appear as tiny grains or red crystals in the host rock. Almandine is never used alone; it is usually followed by the word Garnet, commonly referred to as Almandine Garnet stone. This stunning gemstone is available in various reds, including brownish-red, orangey-red, and purplish-red. Garnet is hardly pure, resulting in mixed Garnets with traces of Pyrope or Spessartite, explaining the wide color range. Almandine Garnet is highly anticipated as gemstone jewelry due to its exceptional toughness and endurance.
