Its crystals form in the cubic system, mostly as dodecahedrons or trapezohedrons, and develop in metamorphic rocks such as mica schists and gneisses. These mineralogical characteristics make it one of the most fascinating members of its group.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChemical Formula:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fe₃Al₂(SiO₄)₃\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deep red to reddish-brown\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMohs Hardness:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.5 to 7.5\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCrystal System:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cubic\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLuster:\u003c\/strong\u003e Glassy\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCleavage:\u003c\/strong\u003e None\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFracture:\u003c\/strong\u003e Conchoidal to uneven\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStability:\u003c\/strong\u003e Very resistant to chemical influences\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Goiás, Brazil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThanks to its high Mohs hardness of up to 7.5, the almandine garnet is a robust mineral that is easily suited as a lasting decorative object or as an accompanying power stone in everyday life.

Other garnets such as pyrope or hessonite differ in composition, color and origin. Almandine is one of the most common and at the same time most sought-after members of its group.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWho is this healing stone garnet red particularly suited for?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece is aimed at mineral collectors who value natural one-of-a-kind pieces with documented origin, as well as people who want to consciously work with the symbolism and energy of red stones.
