Garnet is a group of silicate minerals with a general formula X₃Y₂(SiO₄)₃, where X and Y represent various metal ions such as aluminum, iron, calcium, and magnesium. Garnets occur in a wide range of colors, including red, green, orange, and brown, though red is the most common. They typically form in metamorphic and igneous rocks and are used as gemstones and abrasives. Garnet has a Mohs hardness of 6.5 to 7.5, making it relatively durable. Major sources include India, Sri Lanka, Madagascar, the United States, and Russia.
