Knorringite
Knorringite is a mineral species belonging to the garnet group, and forms a series with the species pyrope. It was discovered in 1968 in the Kao kimberlite pipe in the Butha-Buthe District of Lesotho and is named after Oleg Von Knorring, a professor of mineralogy at the University of Leeds in England. Synthetic knorringite has the pure endmember formula Mg3Cr2(SiO4)3. As knorringite is a member of the knorringite - pyrope series, natural samples contain variable aluminium in the chromium site. Knorringite is a greenish blue color with a Mohs scale of mineral hardness of six to seven. It occurs as a rare component within ultramafic nodules in kimberlites in association with olivine, enstatite, chrome diopside, chromian pyrope, chromian spinel, ilmenite, perovskite, zircon, diamond, omphacite, rutile, carbonates and micas.
