What is Garnet Stone?
Garnet is not a single mineral but a group of silicate minerals known for deep red hues — though it can also appear in purple, orange, and green shades.
Popular Garnet Varieties:
-
Almandine Garnet – Deep red, most common
-
Pyrope Garnet – Dark red with high brilliance
-
Rhodolite Garnet – Pinkish-red to purplish tone
-
Spessartine Garnet – Orange to reddish-orange
Gemological Properties:
-
Mohs Hardness: 6.5 – 7.5
-
Durability: Suitable for daily wear rings
-
Clarity: Generally eye-clean
-
Treatment: Most garnets are untreated
Because garnet is widely available, authenticity matters. Many imitation stones look similar to natural garnet. Always purchase from certified sellers who provide gemstone authentication.
This is why buying from a GJEPC-certified brand like Keeta Luxury ensures you receive a natural and original gemstone.
