Pyrope is the most well-known red garnet variety, though its shade varies. Is pyrope a gemstone? Absolutely! It’s most popular in faceted, blood-red or pomegranate-hued gems. It’s the only garnet to consistently show red coloring.
Is pyrope garnet rare? Not exactly. Though it’s less abundant than other garnets, it’s among the most popular for jewelry.
If you’re ready to learn the ropes on pyrope, join us as we break down all of pyrope’s meanings, prices, history, and morePyrope garnet is a semi-precious gemstone with many monikers. Some popular ones are “Bohemian garnet” or “Cape ruby.” However, pyrope is not a ruby, so selling pyrope under any of these names is forbidden by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).
For the new year babies, pyrope garnet is your January birthstone! It’s also a zodiac stone for Aries, Capricorn, and Aquarius. Garnet is also the traditional gift for commemorating the second wedding anniversary!
The garnet family has two overarching species: ugrandite and pyralspite. Pyrope falls under the pyralspite series with spessartite and almandine.
Pyrope is a magnesium aluminum silicate. Common impurities in pyrope are calcium, iron, manganese, and chromium.
The pure pyrope formula is Mg3Al2Si3O12 or Mg3Al2(SiO4)3, but natural pyrope is never pure. The highest pyrope content found in gem-quality stones reached 83 percent.
Almandine and pyrope can be difficult to distinguish. Chemically, pyrope contains more magnesium while almandine contains more iron. The best test to distinguish the two is density — almandine’s typical 4.3 density is higher than pyrope’s typical 3.6 density.
The remaining pyrope mineral data is listed below:
Mohs hardness: 7-7.5
Color: Red, pink, brownish-red, purple-red, orange-red, blackish-red, purple
Crystal structure: Isometric/Cubic
Luster: Vitreous (glassy) or greasy
Transparency: Transparent to opaque
Refractive index: 1.73-1.76
Density: 3.65-3.87
Cleavage: None
Fracture: Conchoidal
Streak: White
Luminescence: None
Optical effects: Rarely color-changing

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