The so-called almandine garnets of the jeweler are frequently of the almandite class and tend to purplish red.

These had a composition between almandite and pyrope, that is, they had both magnesium and iron with aluminum and silica.

As many such garnets belong to the mineral species almandite garnet, there is little objection to the continuance of this practice.

Pyrope and almandite garnet tend to merge in composition and in properties, and the beautiful "Rhodolite" garnets of Macon County, North Carolina, are between the two varieties in composition, in color, and in other properties.

Brazil, from its prolific gem gravels at Minas Novas, supplies good almandite, and smaller quantities are found in many different localities.
