Mali Garnet, one of the rarer varieties within the garnet group, is a mixture of the species grossular and andradite, (therefore it is sometimes called "grandite.") The entire garnet group is a solid solution series of silicates. That means the crystal structure is basically the same throughout the group, but some of the chemical formulas differ. At certain key points throughout the series, designated species names are given, such as pyrope, almandite, spessartite, grossular, etc. These species exhibit different optical and physical properties due to their differing chemistries. Each is a silicate of aluminum, chromium, or iron combined with magnesium, manganese, iron, or calcium.
A nearly infinite array of named and as yet unnamed, varieties of garnet exist in Nature. Two varieties that have come to recent popularity are rhodolite and malaya. They are hybrids: rhodolite garnet consists of almandine and pyrope; malaya garnet is a mixture of pyrope, almandine, spessartite and grossular. In 1994 a mixture of grossular and andradite garnet was discovered in the West African country of Mali, and was named Mali garnet . This discovery drew a lot of interest because thegrossular and andradite varieties are among the rarest and most valuable garnets. Members of the grossular group include tsaavorite and hessonite. The most famous member of the andradite group is the rare demantiode .

Why are users outbidding themselves?
When a bid is placed, this is the maximum amount a user is willing to bid for the product. Our system will then automatically bid on that users behalf, incrementally increasing the bid to maintain their position as the highest bidder, up to the specified maximum.
When there is an icon indicating 'Auto Bid,' it means our system is actively placing bids for the user based on their maximum bid. This may appear as if users are outbidding themselves, but it's simply a result of the system updating the bid to reflect the users maximum limit.
