Faceted Garnet | China Cracked geodes 5” and weighs 16 ozThis faceted garnet from China belongs to the garnet group, a family of silicate minerals with the chemical formula XY(SiO) that crystallize in the isometric system. Garnets are well known for their durability, measuring 6. 57. 5 on the Mohs hardness scale, as well as their deep, saturated color. The faceting highlights the natural clarity and richness of the stone while preserving its mineral character. Garnets form in a range of geological
