Purple Garnet is characterized by its distinctive shades ranging from deep violet to reddish-purple hues. Primarily sourced from regions such as Mozambique and Tanzania, this garnet variety owes its unique color to the presence of trace amounts of manganese and iron. Known for its high clarity, vibrant color saturation, and excellent brilliance, Purple Garnet is particularly valued among gemstone collectors and jewelry designers. It has a hardness of 7 to 7.5 on the Mohs scale, making it durable and suitable for everyday wear.
