Garnets consist of a large family of complex natural and synthetic metal-oxide phases and have a general formula A3B2C3O12 (space group Ia-3d) formed with linked AO8, BO4 and MO6 polyhedra: Table 1898. Atomic structure of Ca3Al2Si3O12.
Typical examples of garnets are grossular Ca3Al2Si3O12, uvarovite Ca3Cr2Si3O12, andradite Ca3Fe2Si3O12, Y3Al5O12 (YAG; yttrium aluminum garnet), Gadolinium Gallium Garnet (GGG, Gd3Ga5O12). All species of garnets have similar physical properties and crystal forms, but magnetically interesting garnets can be obtained if the A site is occupied by a rare earth element and the B and C sites by iron.
