GARNET:

GARNET:
Collective title for a certain family of minerals. They have the same basic structure but all are not of gem quality. The pyrope which is blood red, almandine which is purple and grossularite which is green occur in Dir, Swat, Quetta and Kalat divisions. Garnets are one of the commonest gemstones widely use in jewellery. They can be facet-cut and cabochon.
