Garnets as a group are commonly found in a few igneous as well as highly metamorphosed rock formations. They are formed naturally amidst high temperatures or pressures, which these rocks are capable of withstanding. They are highly variable in colours and varieties, of which many are rare and beautiful.

One such rare and brilliantly stunning garnet is a green garnet. It is composed of calcium, aluminium, silicate and fits into the grossular and andradite categories of garnet. There are two green garnets and they belong to the grossular and tsavorite types.
