Grossular garnet is a calcium-aluminum garnet admired for its dodecahedral to trapezohedral crystals, vitreous luster, and wide color range, including colorless, honey-yellow, orange, cinnamon-brown, pink, green, and vivid emerald-green tsavorite. Fine specimens may show sharp crystal form, strong transparency, rich saturation, or attractive associations with diopside, vesuvianite, calcite, quartz, or graphite. Collectors value grossular for its color diversity, gem-like brilliance, crystal quality, locality character, and rarity in top specimens. Exceptional examples from Tanzania, Kenya, Mali, Mexico, Canada, Pakistan, Italy, and Russia can range from elegant miniatures to superb cabinet pieces.
