What is Garnet?
Garnet is a group of closely related silicate minerals rather than a single species, including almandine (red), pyrope (red), spessartine (orange), rhodolite (purple-red), tsavorite and demantoid (green). Hardness ranges from about 6.5 to 7.5 on the Mohs scale, and the gems are typically singly refractive with high lustre. Most garnet is untreated, a significant selling point in a market increasingly focused on natural, ethical stones.
India is a major source of almandine garnet (Rajasthan, Odisha, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu) and a leading cutting and bead-production hub. Jaipur facets and calibrates both domestic and imported rough — including Mozambique and Tanzanian material — for global jewellery markets.
Garnet spans a wide price range, from inexpensive red almandine beads to rare, vivid green tsavorite and demantoid commanding high per-carat prices. India's skilled, cost-competitive lapidary labour and large inventory make it a key supplier across the spectrum.
