Spessartine forms a solid solution series with the garnet species almandine. [4] [5] Well-formed crystals from this series, varying in color from very dark-red to bright yellow-orange, were found in Latinka, Rhodope Mountains, Kardzhali Province, Bulgaria. [12] Spessartine, like the other garnets, always occurs as a blend with other species.
Other varieties of 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. [25] This is the rarest type of garnet. Because of its color-changing quality, this kind of garnet resembles alexandrite. [26]
Color: light to dark green, light to dark yellow to reddish brown, brown, orange, red, yellow, green, white, occasionally translucent to opaque pink. It is also but rarely found in colorless form [2] Cleavage: none: Fracture: conchoidal to uneven [2] Mohs scale hardness: 6.5 to 7 [2] Luster: greasy to vitreous [2] Streak: Brown: Specific ...
Andradite is a mineral species of the garnet group.It is a nesosilicate, with formula Ca 3 Fe 2 Si 3 O 12.. Andradite includes three varieties: Colophonite: a historical variety found in the Scandinavian islands, brownish or reddish in color, often opaque or translucent.
The season’s color palette is also shifting. Forget summer brights and spring pastels; autumn is all about warm, rich hues like burnt orange, golden yellow and maroon.

Pyrope is the only member of the garnet family to always display red colouration in natural samples, and it is from this characteristic that it gets its name: from the Greek words for fire and eye.
Mineralogically and chemically, rhodolite garnets are members of the pyrope–almandine solid-solution series, with an approximate bulk garnet composition of Py 70 Al 30. [ 1 ] Rhodolites from different occurrences around the world have been characterized by crystal chemical and absorption spectral analysis showing that besides iron such ...
