Chrome pyrope garnet mined in Arizona is a fascinating and unique gemstone with several interesting characteristics:
Anthill Garnets :
* A significant portion of chrome pyrope garnet found in Arizona is known as anthill garnet. This distinctive name comes from the unusual way they are discovered.
* Ants, particularly in the Navajo Nation region of Arizona, excavate these small, gem-quality garnets while building their anthills. The ants bring the garnets to the surface along with other small rocks and debris.
* These garnets are then collected by hand from around the anthills. This traditional method of sourcing has been practiced for generations.
Origin and Location:
* The primary source of these anthill garnets is in the Four Corners area of Arizona, specifically on the Navajo Nation.
* Notable locations include the Garnet Ridge area, near Dinnehotso in Apache County
* Brilliant cut
