Recorded live session in which I discuss and show minerals from the garnet group. I begin with a brief introduction about properties of garnets, such as crystal shape, hardness and chemical composition. Then well-known and lesser-known garnet varieties pass by: almandine, pyrope, spessartine, grossulary, hessonite, uvarovite, andradite, melanite, demantoite and topazolite.
