Garnet is a naturally occurring abrasive mineral. Thanks to its structure containing a very low percentage of free silica, it does not generate dust or cause silicosis in industrial applications.
Garnet is a non-toxic, inert mineral and is therefore an eco-friendly material.
Garnet is one of the best natural abrasives available and is highly preferred compared to other natural abrasives such as silica sand, mineral sands, and flint.
