Garnet is a group of minerals that have been used since the Bronze Age as gemstones and abrasives. Garnets are most often seen in red, but are available in a wide variety of colors spanning the entire spectrum. The name "garnet" comes from the Latin granatus ("grain"), possibly a reference to the Punica granatum ("pomegranate"), a plant with red seeds similar in shape, size, and color to some garnet crystals.
Six common species of garnet are recognized based on their chemical composition. They are pyrope, almandine, spessartite, grossular (varieties of which are hessonite or cinnamon-stone and tsavorite), uvarovite and andradite. The garnets make up two solid solution series; 1. pyrope-almandine-spessarite and 2. uvarovite-grossular-andradite.

Chyba nie do końca rozumiem tu wszystko,
muszę się uważniej wczytać w opis,
ale kolorystyka mnie zachwyca, soczysta,
nasycona, pełna, bogata!
Miła odmiana po tych mdłych blue & grey,
których tyle teraz w manipach na DA.

I think your effort is really a marvel. It has so many things I enjoy in an artwork. A lovely, mysterious woman, flowers, an interesting foreground, stairs, and a majestic background going all the way to the vanishing point. This is so well done, I'm amazed. It would make a triumphant oil painting. Thanks.
We want to know what love means to you!
