Garnets

Salient Features of our Garnets :-
* Garnets form in a variety of geologic settings, depending on the garnet species.
* It occurs in schists and gneisses, resulting from regional metamorphism of argillaceous sediments.
* It is a characteristic mineral constituent of the amphibolite metamorphic phases, also appearing in the granulate faces. Almandine also occurs in pegmatite dikes and in some granitic and volcanic rocks, as well as in sedimentary deposits as detrital grains.
* It is characteristic of ultra-mafic rocks such as peridotites, kimberlitic, eclogites and serpentines, and in sedimentary deposits derived from their weathering.
* Occurs in granitic pegmaties and in skarns, also found in sedimentary deposits.
