Dark Red Garnet

Garnet is not a single stone, but a family of minerals sharing a similar crystal structure. This results in a stunning variety of colors, from deep reds and oranges to darker red hues close to blacks. These vibrant hues are responsible for garnet's popularity as a gemstone for centuries. Garnets are found worldwide, with significant sources including India, Russia, Tanzania, Madagascar and the United States (especially Arizona and Idaho), and many other countries. The specific location influences the color and quality of the garnet produced.
