About PyropeHide

Formula:

Mg₃Al₂(SiO₄)₃

Colour:

Blood red, orange red, purple red, pink, black red, colorless.

Lustre:

Vitreous

Hardness:

7 - 7½

Specific Gravity:

3.582

Crystal System:

Isometric

Member of:

Garnet Group > Garnet Supergroup

Name:

From the Greek "pyropos", "fiery-eyed", in allusion to the red hue.

Type Locality:

ⓘ Czech Republic

Dimorph of:

Jeffbenite

Garnet Group.
Almandine-Pyrope Series, Knorringite-Pyrope Series, Pyrope-Grossular Series.

Occurs predominantly in ultrabasic igneous rocks.

Pure end-member pyrope is colorless! (but rare).

Optical anisotropy may be present, caused by strain-induced birefringence, in relation to occurrence of more than a single (cubic) phase (Antao, 2021).
