Overview編集

It is the name of a group of mineral species, and is classified into about 16 types depending on the difference in the components, and the properties and geology in which it appears vary greatly.


It comes in a wide variety of colors, from red to yellow, orange, green, and black.


It crystallizes into a rhombic dodecahedron, a rhombic icosidodecahedron (called a kite-shaped icosidodecahedron in mathematics), or a combination of these.


Its Mohs hardness is 6.5 to 7.5, which is roughly the same hardness as quartz (crystal).


Its specific gravity is 3.7 to 3.8 (in the case of pyrope).


It is the January birthstone, and its stone word is "loyalty and trust," but in recent years there have been many misprints of this word that have begun to change.


In addition, many people generally think of garnet as red, but in this case, it usually refers to almandine (iron-aluminum garnet) or pyrope (bitter aluminium garnet).


It is also a color name, referring to the color of a red stone and translated as crimson.
