Asked by Wiki User

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.

In general, gemologists identify gemstones by physical characteristics such as chemical composition, refractive index, specific gravity and hardness. In the case of ruby, a gemologist also has to distinguish between natural ruby -- ruby occurring in nature -- and synthetic ruby -- ruby produced in a laboratory through a process such as flame fusion. One of the signature characteristics of a synthetic ruby is curved growth lines formed as the crystal grows upwards in an environment with a high thermal gradient.

What isDifference between garnet and marble counter tops?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Marble is a metamorphic rock that was originally limestone, a sedimentary rock, and is composed primarily of the mineral calcite. Granite is an intrusive igneous rock composed mainly of feldspar, mica, and quartz. Marble is softer than granite because of these mineral composition differences and it will also react with weak acids such as vinegar. These properties make marble a good choice for a sculptor, but a bad choice for a kitchen countertop.

How do you mine Granite?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Granite is mined out of the ground in large blocks, usually up to 3metres long by about 1.5 metres square. These individual blocks are cut into multiple'slabs' of the requisite thickness, usually 20mm or 30mm thick, using a huge reciprocating arm attached to a series of blades. It's a bit like a bread slicer, only it takes a bit longer to cut through, usually about a week
