Garnet is a mineral that isn't all that uncommon, but it isn't one mineral. Rather, it is the name given to a group of similar minerals, and they are not all that rare. (Some are harder to find than others, as one could expect.) Less expensive jewelry is make with garnet. Why not use the link to the Wikipedia article on garnet and see what kinds there are?Butty
