Nominal Formula:
Fe3Al2(SiO4)3
Garnet Sand / Garnet Powder Description:
A group of iron aluminum silicate homogeneous minerals having similar properties. non-hygroscopic, sharp angular shape, inert, slightly magnetic, not soluble in water, translucent, friable to tough, and contains no free chemicals. All oxides and dioxides are combined chemically as follows: Fe2O3Al2(SiO4)3. The iron and aluminum are partially replaceable by calcium, magnesium and manganese.There are three types- aluminum garnet, iron garnet & chromium garnet.
Typical Chemistry: SiO2= 41.34%, FeO= 9.72%, Fe2O3= 12.55%, Al2O3= 20.36%, CaO= 2.97%, MgO= 12.35% and MnO= 0.85%
