Thermoluminescencie: Ja
Grossular garnet from Lake Jaco, Chihuahua Mexico, may be found as dark cherry red crystals, with vesuvianite. Under either MW or a filtered high pressure UV source, these garnets fluoresce brilliantly in a pure red. Mont-Saint-Hilaire: grossular OH-bearing (hibschite)
Voornaamste Activator: Cr3+

The color is identical to that of red-fluorescing ruby corundum or spinel. As with those minerals, chromium in place of aluminum is the likely activator. Other activator: V2+ (717 nm), Nd3+ (462, 476, 482,501 nm) and possibly Mn2+ band around 605-610 nm (decay time: several ms). Natural grossular luminescence was studied by continuous wave (CW) luminescence technique and has been connected with Cr3+ centers, which substitutes for Al3+ and occupies a site with distorted octahedral symmetry (which in fact is trigonal C3i). Trivalent chromium in grossular occupies high crystal field position. The luminescence spectra of Cr3+ in grossular at room temperature contain a strong broad band peaking at 720 nm and three sharp lines centered at 697, 700 and 701 nm. Excitation by CW laser with 785 nm revealed IR luminescence lines which evidently may be ascribed to trivalent REE, such as Pr, Ho, Nd, Er and Yb (Gaft).
