Chrome garnet is termed as :

  • A.Almandine
  • B.Grossularite
  • C.Spessartite
  • D.Uvarovite

Answer: D

Chrome garnet is uvarovite.

Uvarovite, Ca\(_{3}\)Cr\(_{2}\)(SiO\(_{4}\))\(_{3}\), is the calcium-chromium end member of the garnet group, an emerald-green mineral found with chromite in serpentinites and skarns.

Almandine is the iron-aluminium garnet, Fe\(_{3}\)Al\(_{2}\)(SiO\(_{4}\))\(_{3}\); grossular is the calcium-aluminium garnet; and spessartine (spessartite) is the manganese-aluminium garnet. None of them contains chromium as an essential component.
