"Garnet" is actually the name of a group of silicate minerals, which can be found around the world, as spectacular crystals, gem rough, or massive deposits mined for industrial abrasives. Garnets are found in literally every color, and entire books have been written on them.

The garnet group includes almandine, andradite, calderite, goldmanite, grossular, hibschite, katoite, kimzeyite, knorringite, majorite, morimotoite, pyrope, schorlomite, spessartine, and uvarovite.

Of these, the most common are almandine, andradite, grossular, pyrope, spessartine, and uvarovite. Hundreds of localities are known.
