Garnet is a group of minerals that have been used since the Bronze Age as gemstones and industrial abrasives. Garnets are most often seen in red, but are available in a wide variety of colors spanning the entire spectrum. The name "garnet" comes from the Latin granatus ("grain"), possibly a reference to the Punica granatum ("pomagranate"), a plant with red seeds similar in shape, size, and color to some garnet crystals.
Color-changing garnets exist. In daylight, their color ranges from shades of green, beige, brown, gray, and blue, but in incandescent light, they appear a reddish or purplish/pink color. Because of their color changing quality, this kind of garnet is often mistaken for Alexandrite
Garnets are found in the U.S. in Arizona and largely in Idaho. The Garnet Queen Mine in Idaho produces a highly saturated dark red almandine/pyrope garnet. Arizona is a pyrope garnet ranging in color and clarity from fiery red to reddish lavander. Other states that have notable occurrences of garnet include: New Mexico, Utah, Arkansas and Kentucky. Other garnet sources are Latin America, Africa, India, Australia, Asia and some parts of Europe.
