Garnet
Gem and industrial garnet in almandine, spessartine and rhodolite varieties.
Overview
Garnet serves two very different markets from the same deposits. Gem-quality spessartine and rhodolite go to cutters; the balance is crushed and screened for abrasive use, where garnet's hardness and clean fracture make it the standard waterjet and blasting medium.
We supply both streams, with abrasive grades screened to standard mesh sizes on request.
Applications
- Faceted gemstones: spessartine, rhodolite, almandine
- Waterjet cutting abrasive
- Sandblasting and surface preparation
