Japanese: パイロープ(英語表記)pyrope
Pyrope (English spelling)
An end component of garnet solid solution. Mg 3 Al 2 Si 3 O 12 . A cubic crystal mineral. Hardness 7.5, specific gravity 3.535. It is pink-red, but when some of the magnesium is replaced by iron, it turns purple-red. Blood-red pyrope is used as a gemstone. Pure pyrope does not exist in nature, but forms a solid solution with iron-aluminum garnet. It is also called magnesium garnet. It is stable above 100°C unless it is under high pressure of more than 7000 atmospheres. It is found in garnet olivine and eclogite.
