You can read an article about the Czech garnet mainly about its deposits: Czech garnet and its unmistakable color.
Czech garnet is a semi-precious stone, pyrope, composed of magnesium-aluminum silicate. Its name is derived from its fire-like color, from the Greek pyropos-like fire. It is located in the Bohemian Central Mountains and its color is deep red.
Minerals belonging to the garnet group include:
- almandine: brownish red to black
- andradite: various shades of red, yellow, green, brown and black
- calderit
- goldmanite
- grosular: light green to amber yellow or deep brown
- hesonite: grosular variety, honey yellow color
- hibschit
- katoit
- kimzeyit
- majority
- morimotoit
- pyrope: blood red to black
- schorlomit
- spessartin: dark red to brownish red
- boil: emerald green color.
Czech garnets can be identified by their size, usually about 1 - 7 mm (these are more of an exception) and by their deep red to fiery color, unlike almandine, which has a raspberry, ruby, to purple-brown color and can be much larger than Czech pyropes.
An example of an almandine garnet certificate can be found here.
Whether it is a real Czech garnet, almandine or another mineral included in the garnet group, each of them will find their admirer and owner, whom they will make happy and happy.
