The Avebury Mine near Zeehan, Tasmania, has green garnets that straddle the mid-point of the series andradite-uvarovite. You need to basically analyse each specimen to determine which is the dominant species 😆
One of the most beautiful mineral/gemstones. I did not know that other varieties could also be green; I will just keep thinking that the ring I bought my wife is true Uvarovite.

Cool beans! I have a chunk of rock studded with red garnets, but have never seen green ones.
There are some pink, raspberry, and olive green garnets in this post: https://richardigibson.substack.com/p/its-from-lake-jaco
