Trace Elements in Almandine Garnet, Vemireddipalle Area, Krishna District, Andhra Pradesh, India

Authors(1) :-Nazia Sultana

Almandine is an iron-aluminium garnet and the deep red transparent stones are often called precious garnet and are used as gemstones. The aim of the research is to study the trace element concentrations. ICP-MS is used to analyze the trace elements. The study found that Y, Zn, Sc, Cr, V, Zr and Co are present comparatively in higher concentrations.
