These are the semi-precious Garnet smooth, faceted, carved and shaped beads or components we currently have in stock.
Garnets are gemstones that are usually shades of red, but span the color spectrum. They may be opaque to transparent and are vitreous to resinous in luster. Red Garnet used for the bead market is often dyed to enhance the color. While the dye is colorfast (in the stone) it is wise to rinse them before using to remove any remaining dye on the surface.
