Description
Pyrope is not a common mineral, and there are fewer localities for this Garnet than all other common Garnets with the exception of Uvarovite. European localities include Vestrev, Bohemia, Czech Republic; Gorduno, Ticino, Switzerland; Almklovdal, Sunnmore, Norway; and Elie Ness, Fife, Scotland (known locally as "Elie Ruby"). A more recent occurrence of Pyrope is from Martiniana Po, Piedmont, Italy, where it is found in relatively large crystals coated with a white to pale green mica. Important African deposits of gem Pyrope include the Umba River Valley, in the Tanga Region, Tanzania; and Lokirima, Turkana District, Kenya. Pyrope is also found in many of the South African Diamond mines, such as the famous Kimberly Mine. In the U.S., the most significant Pyrope deposit is near San Carlos (in the San Carlos Indian Reservation), Gila and Graham counties, Arizona. Significant deposits also exist near Fort Defiance (Buell Park and Garnet Ridge), Apache Co., Arizona. The variety Rhodolite comes from Cowee Creek, Macon Co., North Carolina. In Canada, Pyrope is found in Joli Township, Quebec. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Information Source: Article title: Pyrope garnet: The mineral Pyrope information and pictures Website title: Minerals.net
