| For example, the garnet with a composition halfway between spessartite and pyrope is known as malaia. |
| The garnet is rich in the high-pressure species pyrope, and the omphacite is rich in the high-pressure pyroxene jadeite. |
| Another garnet, a mixture of pyrope and spessartine, is called malaya garnet in the gem trade. |
| In the introduction to the garnet group, the various distinct species such as pyrope, almandite, grossularite, andradite, and spessartite are referred to as varieties. |
| Rhodolite, a red variety that usually has a tinge of purple in it, is a mixture of almandine and pyrope. |
| The species of garnet crystal known as pyrope, when cut in the shape of a tallow drop, is called a carbuncle. |
