Facts about Garnet

The usual color for a garnet is red, but can also be found in purple, red, orange, yellow, green, brown, black and colorless. The blue change garnet was found in the 1990's in Bekily, Madagascar, but this color remains extremely rare. Color change garnets are the rarest and blue is the rarest of these. It is expected that blue color-change garnets will become the most expensive to purchase. In natural light they are green, beige, brown, grey and blue, and when under incandescent light they become reddish or a purple/pink in color.

Garnets when found are all cubic in shape.

Garnets are often used as abrasives because of their hardness, 6.5 to 7.5 on the Mohs scale.
