If the garnet is a color other than red, then yes. Garnet and ruby also have different crystal systems that can be distinguished by the examination of naturally occurring specimens. Once cut and polished, it would be difficult to distinguish between a red colored garnet and a ruby if both were gem grade.
Ruby and Garnet. Ruby is the louder one who wants to act and Garnet is the quiet one who reads a lot :)
ruby
They are two completely different stones to start with. While there are garnets that have a deep red color it has more of a brown cast to it and, owing to its chemical composition being mainly silicon and oxygen, is softer than ruby. While Garnet is used in jewelry it is a semi-precious stone. Ruby's chemical structure is based on aluminum an oxygen and ranks 9 on Moh's Hardness scale, just under diamond. Ruby is classed as a precious stone and, depending on the quality, may cost as much as diamond. Short answer is, if a mineralogist mistook garnet for ruby or ruby for garnet, and was verifying a sale, he could cause a loss of money on either side.
The twins in Jacqueline Wilson's Double Act are named Ruby and Garnet. They are identical twins who have contrasting personalities and experiences growing up.
No, ruby and sapphire cannot make garnet. Ruby and sapphire are both varieties of the mineral corundum, while garnet is a separate group of silicate minerals. Although they may share some similar properties and can be found in similar geological environments, they are distinct minerals with different compositions and crystal structures. Garnet forms through a different geological process and has its own unique set of characteristics.
