Almandine can be found in Brazil, India, Madagascar,
Sri Lanka, Tanzania, Zambia and in the United States.
Garnet's medium hardness makes this stone fairly easy to scratch.
In order to protect a garnet from abrasion, the usual precautions apply.
Keep the almandine away from heat, thermal shocks, ultrasound and blowtorch as it might cause cracks.
