The primary composition range of the Rhodolite variety overlaps the composition ranges of four other Pyrope varieties: Standard Pyrope, Malaya Garnet, Pastel Pyrope and Color Change Pyrope. Rhodolite: Although Rhodolite is known for its purple color, distinguishing it from other Pyropes with purple color (purple Pastels, purple Malayas and purple Color Change Garnets) can be problematic. should we refer to it as Tsavorite with moderate green color, or Merelani with light green color? Perhaps the most difficult distinction we might have to make among Ugrandites is between the color variations of Green Grossular: i.e. For example, Green Grossular has a different color than orange Hessonite Hessonite doesn’t share the same colors or brilliance with Mali Garnet and Mali Garnet doesn’t have the high refractive index and magnetic susceptibility of Demantoid or brown Andradite. The 3 species and multiple varieties generally do not simultaneously overlap in color, refractive index and magnetic susceptibility. Ugrandite Garnet gems are easily distinguished from one another. This page provides detailed examples of how most varieties and species of Garnet can be distinguished from one another using standard testing instruments such as a magnetic wand, refractometer and spectroscope. 2- About the Magnetic Susceptibility Indexĭistinguishing Between Garnet Species and Varieties Garnet pg 14- Gem Garnet Classification System.Garnet pg 13- Distinguishing Between Garnet Species and Varieites.Garnet pg 12- Ugrandite Garnets: Grossular Garnet.Garnet pg 11- Ugrandite Garnets: Andradite & Uvarovite.Garnet pg 10- Rhodolite & Chrome Pyrope.Garnet pg 9- Pastel Pyrope: A New Variety.Garnet pg 6- Pyralspite Garnets: Almandine, Pyrope & Spessartine.Garnet pg 5- A Graph of All Gem Garnets.Garnet pg 4- A Rainbow of Color in Garnets.Garnet pg 2- Understanding Garnets through Magnetism.
