Correct Answer - Option 2 : Garnet

The correct answer is Garnet.

  • The mines of Janakpura and Sarwar are known for the production of Garnet.
  • Garnet is also called Raktmani.
  • Rajasthan is the sole producer of Garnet.

  • Garnet
    • Garnet, any member of a group of common silicate minerals that have similar crystal structures and chemical compositions. They may be colourless, black, and many shades of red and green.
    • The hardness, lack of cleavage, and tendency to break into irregular grains have led to the recovery, crushing, and size-sorting of garnet for use in abrasives such as sandpaper.
  • Emerald-
    • Emerald, grass-green variety of beryl that is highly valued as a gemstone.
  • Pyrite- 
    • Pyrite, also called iron pyrite or fool’s gold, a naturally occurring iron disulfide mineral.
    • The name comes from the Greek word pyr, “fire,” because pyrite emits sparks when struck by metal
  • Barytes-
    • Mineral, barium sulfate (BaSO4).
    • Barite occurs in hydrothermal ore veins (particularly those containing lead and silver), in sedimentary rocks such as limestone, in clay deposits formed by the weathering of limestone, in marine deposits, and in cavities in igneous rock.
