The red varieties most common in specimens are almandine, which crystallizes in the isometric system and often forms the distinctive 12-faced rhombic dodecahedron that collectors recognize: a perfectly regular, many-sided crystal that looks cut but is not. Mohs hardness is 6.5–7.5. This raw form shows the natural crystal habit rather than a lapidary cut. Major deposits of red almandine garnet come from the Adirondack Mountains of New York, India, and the Czech Republic, where it occurs in metamorphic schists and gneisses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRed garnet was among the first gemstones worked by ancient lapidaries—Egyptian craftsmen set it more than five thousand years ago, and Roman signet rings frequently used garnet inlay.
