About This Collection

Garnet is not a single mineral but a group of closely related silicate minerals sharing a common crystal structure but varying in chemical composition, producing a wide spectrum of colours including deep red, orange, yellow, green, purple, and the rarest of all — blue. The most familiar and widely recognised variety is Almandine Garnet, whose deep red to reddish-brown colour has made it one of the most prized gemstones since antiquity. Other notable varieties include Tsavorite, a vivid green Grossular Garnet from Kenya and Tanzania; Spessartine, a vibrant orange to reddish-orange Garnet; and Rhodolite, a rose-red to violet variety. Garnet takes its name from the Latin word "granatum" meaning pomegranate seed, a reference to the resemblance of its deep red crystals to the jewel-like seeds of the fruit.
