About Garnet GroupHide

Formula:
X3Z2(SiO4)3
X = Mg, Ca, Fe2+, Mn2+, etc.  
Z = Al, Fe3+, Cr3+, V3+ etc.  
Trace amounts of Sn may replace Fe3+.
Name:
Named Carchedonius Garamanticus = Carthaginian or Garamantic Carbuncle in 77-79 by Pliny the Elder.

Earlier named ΑνθραϪέ by Tyrtamus, commonly known by his honorary name, Theophrastus, possibly about 325-300 BCE, but seemingly a name also used for ruby spinel and red-pink sapphires.

Named for the Latin granatum (pomegranate) for its resemblance to seeds of this fruit.
The classical name for a group of silicate minerals with the same structure.
Not to be confused with the Garnet Supergroup which also includes garnet-type vanadates and others.

In traditional and petrological use, the name 'garnet' usually refers to these six minerals:
