ʻO Garnets kahi pūʻulu o nā minerala i hoʻohauʻoli lōʻihi i ka poʻe geologists a me nā mea makemake mineral. Me ka nui o nā kala a me nā ʻano like ʻole, ʻo nā garnets kekahi o nā hui mineral ʻokoʻa a nani loa i ka honua. Ma waho aʻe o ko lākou hiʻohiʻona nani, loaʻa i nā garnets kekahi mau waiwai kūʻokoʻa a me ka mōʻaukala waiwai e lilo ai lākou i kumuhana koʻikoʻi a hoihoi i ka honua o ka geology.
ʻO kekahi o nā hiʻohiʻona kaulana loa o nā garnets ʻo kā lākou kala kala. Hiki ke loaʻa i nā ʻoniʻoni ʻulaʻula, ʻalani, melemele, ʻōmaʻomaʻo, ʻulaʻula, poni, a me ke kala ʻole. Loaʻa i kēlā me kēia kala kona mau ʻano ponoʻī a me nā hōʻailona, a ʻo ke ʻano o nā kala i loko o ka hui garnet kekahi o nā mea e hoʻohanohano ai lākou.
Hiki mai nā Garnets i nā ʻano ʻano like ʻole a me nā ʻano like ʻole, kēlā me kēia me kona mau pono ponoʻī a me nā hoʻohana. ʻIke ʻia nā garnets Almandine no ko lākou ʻulaʻula hohonu a hoʻohana pinepine ʻia i nā mea nani. He ʻulaʻula nō hoʻi nā garnets Pyrope, akā ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka malu a ʻoi aku ka ikaika. ʻO ka Spessartine garnets, ma ka ʻaoʻao ʻē aʻe, ua ʻike ʻia no ko lākou kala ʻalani a loaʻa pinepine i ka granite a me ka gneiss.
Ma waho aʻe o ko lākou nani a me nā ʻano like ʻole, loaʻa i nā garnets kekahi mau waiwai kūʻokoʻa e hoʻolilo iā lākou i mea waiwai i nā ʻano o nā noi. Ua ʻike ʻia ʻo Garnets no ko lākou paʻakikī a me ka lōʻihi, e kūpono iā lākou no ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā huahana abrasive e like me ke one a me nā ʻōnaehana kānana wai. Kūleʻa nō hoʻi lākou i ka wela a loaʻa kahi helu heheʻe kiʻekiʻe, e hoʻohana pono iā lākou i nā wahi wela kiʻekiʻe e like me nā linings umu a me nā pad brake.
Akā ʻaʻole pono wale nā garnets; He moʻolelo koʻikoʻi ko lākou a ua mahalo ʻia no ko lākou nani a me nā waiwai kūʻokoʻa no nā kenekulia. ʻO kaʻoiaʻiʻo, ua loaʻa nā garnets i nā mea nani kahiko a me nā mea waiwai ʻē aʻe e pili ana i ka Bronze Age. I kēia lā, hoʻomau ka garnets i ka hoʻopio a hoʻoulu i ka poʻe geologists a me nā mea makemake mineral a puni ka honua me ko lākou nani, nā ʻano like ʻole, a me nā waiwai kūʻokoʻa.
