Garnet specimen, in plain facts
This specimen holds three minerals that grew together: dark-red garnet, pale feldspar and smoky quartz.
Garnet crystals set in feldspar, with smoky quartz grown alongside.
Garnet is thought to come from Latin granatum, pomegranate, for its seed-like red crystals.
Garnet and quartz are hard; the feldspar is a little softer.
Garnet often grows in round, many-faced crystals.
Every specimen is a little different.
Display it and dust with a soft brush.
It started with a fake rose quartz.
We once paid for rose quartz online. What arrived was a piece of painted glass in a plastic bag, with nothing to say what it was or where it came from.
You can't hold a stone up to the light before you buy it online, so we built the shop we wished we'd found: real stones, real photos and plain facts.
- Every stone we sell is natural
- A real photo on every stone's own page
- Plain facts about every stone, and a meaning card by email
- 30 days to send it back if it isn't right
