hydrogrossular
Massive
veins of opaque
Grossular Garnet that resembles
Jade. It is white to light green in color, and may be colored in a
white, green, and pink combination. Hydrogrossular is often regarded as a variety of Grossular, but it is scientifically regarded as two distinct individual mineral species that have a slightly different
chemical formula than true Grossular. Hydrogrossular is synonymous with the term Hydrogarnet. Other synonyms of Hydrogrossular include Transvaal Jade, African Jade, South African Jade, and Garnet Jade.
