Super Garnet is a non-metallic mineral abrasive that is naturally occurring and mined from the beaches of the Gulf of Mannar. Its grains have a distinctive curved cubic form, which is the result of hundreds of years of wave action. During the mining and processing process, there is no grinding or breaking down of the particles. This makes Super Garnet a genuine virgin almandine garnet, which belongs to the gem family.
Garnet is the heaviest and hardest of all garnets, and it can withstand high cutting speeds while maintaining low dust levels. Its crystalline shape gives it a fast cutting action and a longer lifespan, making it a highly efficient and effective abrasive. With these properties, Super Garnet is an excellent choice for abrasive applications.
Garnets with inclusions can have a star-shaped pattern of reflections or appear to change colour under different types of lighting. Almandine garnets are the most common and are frequently used as a gem. Garnet crystals nearly 1 metre in dimeter have been reported from Gore mountain garnet mine in USA.
