First, the introduction of garnet
Garnet, a kind of colored gemstone in ancient China called the Raven Umbrella or the Ziyawu, and the tourmaline, Jinshui Bodhi, Hailanbao and Topa. It is a group of minerals that have been used as gems and abrasives in the Bronze Age. Garnet English is translated from "Punicagranatum" ("pomegranate", pomegranate), a plant with red seeds that is similar in shape, size and color to some garnet crystals.

Second, the element group
Chemical composition: Al3Be2[SiO4]3.
Crystal system: is an equiaxed crystal system.
Refractive index: 1.74-1.90.
Hardness: 7-8.
Color: Variety varies.
Crystallization characteristics: The garnet family belongs to the equiaxed gemstone. In the crystal structure, it belongs to the island silicate. The common crystal form is rhombohedral dodecahedron, tetragonal octahedron and polymorphic shape, and the crystal face can be seen as growth pattern.

Third, classification
1. The chemical composition of garnet can be divided into six types.
2, the color classification commonly used in the market
This color method is mainly used on the garnet bracelet. The merchant divides them into brown black, maroon, deep red, wine red, rose red, purple, and deep purple. Among them, wine red and rose red are the most. Common, and purple, is a variety of rare and expensive products on the market.
In the Chinese jewelry industry, the name of the garnet is "purple teeth". "Yuwu (Yu Gu)" is derived from the Arabic Yakut (gemstone), and the garnet is often purple-red, so it is called purple tooth. Here, we must make a special point. The garnet in the market and the so-called purple-colored garnet on Taobao is a wrong saying. Purple tooth is just the craft name of garnet. According to the grammar (Arabic Yakut) Purple tooth is the name of garnet and is a noun.
Nowadays, many people use the purple tooth as a kind of garnet, and use "purple teeth" as an adjective. This is wrong. However, the market has already popularized the purple tooth as a synonym for color (ps: which place to get it out, no way to study).
3, the crystal classification is brief
Many gradings on Taobao are problematic. According to the classification above the wholesale market, it is from the worst C to B and then to A. This time it is mainly about the classification of A-grade crystal and garnet. Friends in the East China Sea and Tsuen Wan should know that the most stringent white crystal ball is an example: in the East China Sea, there are crystal balls with obvious 瑕疵 fracture surface, which can only be classified into A grade, while AA grade is very rare. One or a little of the 瑕疵 can only be assigned to the AA level, and the highest level in the crystal is AAA. The so-called three A, that is, the crystal clarity is A, the processing cut is A, and the color gloss is A. Therefore, it is commonly called three A, so the average crystal and garnet can only be rated to three A. As for the business that said their own things 5 ​​A, 7 A, 10 A, only that these businesses understand the crystal is just a cloud, or misleading consumption.
Fourth, the origin
1. Magnesium-aluminum garnet is mainly produced in ultra-basic rocks and its residual slope sand deposits. Large-grain gem-grade magnesia-alumina is rare, and the former Soviet Union, Norway, Czech Republic and Jiangsu Province of China all produced.
2. The iron-aluminum garnet is formed in metamorphic rocks and sand mines such as mica schist and hornblende gneiss. The producing areas are Sri Lanka, Brazil, Madagascar, India and other countries.
3. Calcium aluminum garnet is a product of skarn, but it has also been found in the alteration zone of serpentine and gabbro, such as Kenya, Bakis, the former Soviet Union and China.
4. Manganese garnet is produced in pegmatite, and some metamorphic rocks also appear.
5. Gem-grade manganese-aluminum garnet is produced in Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Brazil and other countries.
6. Calcium garnet is a product of the action of aerothermal aqueous solution and calcium-containing ultrabasic rocks, both found in the former Soviet Union and the United States.
7. Calcium iron garnet is a product of schist and metamorphic limestone belts. It is brown and green. The garnet and garnet are produced in serpentinite. The black garnet is produced in alkaline igneous rocks and is produced in the former Soviet Union and the Congo. Out.

Five, historical legends
Story one
It is said that when Goe’s lover, Ululu, was on a date, he often wore red garnets that had been handed down from generation to generation. This string of gems is now in the Bohemian Museum. When she was only 19 years old when she first saw Goethe, she fell in love with him deeply. Because of the age difference between the two, her love was opposed by the family.

Eight, the identification method of garnet
As a general appreciator or customer, there is no need to determine the specific species of garnet. Just know that they are indeed garnets. There are not many gems similar to garnets on the market, mainly ruby, red zircon, and sharp. Spar, synthetic yttrium aluminum garnet, yttrium gallium garnet and glass imitation.
The method of distinguishing is: ruby ​​and red zircon have dichroism, red zircon also has strong double shadow, and garnet is unique, so it is easy to distinguish from pomegranate; spinel is generally lighter in color, detailed identification Use the instrument. Natural garnets of various colors have some enamel or crystalline inclusions (such as needle-shaped gold stone, some gas-liquid two-phase inclusions, etc.), while Y, A, G, G, G, G and glass are often very clean, or have a round Spherical crumb-like bubbles. In fact, for certain garnets, it can also have its own unique characteristics, such as garnet (green variant of calcium iron garnet) often has a "horsetail" fiber inclusion, which can be seen at a glance see.
Daily garnet identification method
The garnet identification method can also start from the following four points:
1, the color of the garnet is wine red, the crystal is transparent, through the light, less impurities, the gloss is very good, if the price is very attractive, leisurely, problematic.
2, look at the cotton wool impurities, garnet is easy to have black spots, ice cracks, if not careful.
3, garnet is heavier than the general crystal, take it under the hand, if it is lighter than the powder crystal, be sure to be alert.
4, the garnet is more delicate, the surface feels very slippery, feels very comfortable and very oily, unlike other crystal "glass" feeling.
Nine, garnet degaussing
Garnet has been worn for a long time, and it is easy to attract negative energy. Therefore, it is also necessary to purify the garnet. Some people also call it the degaussing method, which can restore the original magnetic field. Generally speaking, the purification time is about once a month, and when the garnet feels sticky, it is necessary to quickly purify it.
Daylight purification method: direct sunlight, preferably in the morning to around noon, the sun is most appropriate, about 2 hours, if you accidentally exceed the time does not matter, but must be recovered before sunset.
Moonlight purification method: I heard that it is better to use the full moon when the sun is better (using the day and month of the cation degaussing method is best, both degaussing and energy enhancement).
Mineral water soaking method: buy a bottle of new mineral water, then take a glass porcelain bowl, put the crystal into the cup and pour the mineral water for 24 hours. Can balance the negative energy of the spar.
The defensive salt dipping method: put the spar into a cup, according to each bracelet 10 grams of defensive salt, calculated with 500 ml of mineral water, soak for 24 hours, rinse with mineral water or pure water after soaking Drying, you can dissolve the magnetic field around the spar, you can demagnetize multiple pieces of crystal at the same time, then add more salt and mineral water. Note that the salt here is said to be the Japanese salt, the non-general salt, and the salt is not corrosive to metals and crystals, and does not change the nature of the crystal. Obsidian recommends the use of defensive salt degaussing.
