Andradite garnet is a fascinating member of the garnet family, known for its vibrant colors. The mineral forms in metamorphic and igneous environments, often in association with minerals like vesuvianite, epidote, and magnetite. It typically develops under high-pressure conditions, particularly in skarn deposits, which are formed when hot, mineral-rich fluids interact with carbonate rocks. The presence of iron in its composition gives it its characteristic colors, ranging from deep green to black and yellow.
