Sentences with PYROPE (5)
This variety is called "pyrope," the deeper and richer tints being designated "carbuncle," from the Latin _carbunculus_, a little coal, because when this beautiful variety of the "noble" garnet is held up between the eyes and the sun, it is no longer a deep, blood-red, but has exactly the appearance of a small piece of live or glowing coal, the scarlet portion of its colour-mixture being particularly evident.
The types are (1) _Almandite_ garnet; (2) _Pyrope_ garnet; (3) _Hessonite_ garnet; and (4) _Andradite_ garnet.
These are all silicates, the almandite garnets being silicates of iron and aluminum; the pyrope garnets are silicates of magnesium and aluminum; the hessonite garnets, silicates of calcium and aluminum, and the andradite garnets, silicates of calcium and iron.
The pyrope garnets are, as the name literally implies, of fire red color, as a rule, but they also may be purplish in color.
These had a composition between almandite and pyrope, that is, they had both magnesium and iron with aluminum and silica.
