Almandine Garnet is purplish red in colour. The mineral samples are collected from Vemireddipalle area, Krishna District, Andhra Pradesh. Dataset/points are examined using EPMA. It is found that P2O5 (29.34%) and Ce2O3 (22.47%) are abundant and the major oxides support the presence of Monazite inclusion. The high concentration of ZrO2 and SiO2 helped to confirm the other inclusion as Zircon.
