It is an iron and aluminum silicate that crystallizes in the cubic system. The iron gives it its dark red color with violet tones, and also makes it one of the densest garnets: about 4.2, compared with 2.65 for quartz. Its hardness is 7 to 7.5 on the Mohs scale. Its name is said to come from Alabanda, a city in Asia Minor where, according to Pliny the Elder, these stones were cut. It is mined notably in India, Sri Lanka, Madagascar and Brazil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIn lithotherapy:\u003c\/strong\u003e almandine is associated with the root and sacral chakras.
