End-member of garnet solid solution. It is one of the most beautiful members of the garnet family.
This is because it has greater light dispersibility than diamond.
They come in a variety of colors, but the most beautiful ones are yellow, yellow-green, and emerald.
It is common in skarn and limestone Hornfels.

A stone whose name changes depending on the minerals it contains
There are several types of garnet, depending on the difference in the main components such as Mg, Ca, Mn, Fe, and Al, but andradite is mainly composed of calcium and iron.
It is found in ultramafic rocks such as skarn, greenschist, serpentinite, alkaline igneous rocks, and hydrothermal veins, and is the most common of the garnets.

Although andradite is slightly softer than other garnets, it is sometimes crushed finely and used as an abrasive, and beautiful ones are made into jewelry.
Its refractive index is the highest among garnets, and the transparent one has greater light dispersion than diamond, giving it a strong sparkle.
Highly transparent yellow-green or green ones containing chromium are called demantoids and are used as gemstones.

The black one contains titanium and is called melanite, while the yellow andradite is sometimes called topazolite.
