About Grossularite Garnet
Six common varieties of
garnet are recognized based on their chemical composition. They are pyrope, almandine,
spessartite, grossularite, uvarovite and andradite. Grossularite (or grossular) garnet is a calcium-aluminium garnet. The name grossular is derived from the botanical name for the gooseberry,
grossularia. One of the most sought after varieties of gem garnet is the fine green grossular garnet from Kenya and Tanzania called
