The grossular garnet from rodingite-type rock from the Suva Česma area in western Serbia is characterized with its weak anisotropic nature. Because its anisotropy could indicate a non-cubic lower symmetry, SEM-EDS and Rietveld powder refinement methods were used. The SEM-EDS results have shown that the garnet has a (Ca3.00Mn0.01)3.01(Al1.82Fe0.15Ti0.02)1.99(Si2.97Al0.03)3.00O12 chemical composition (i.e., Grs91Adr08), which can be more specifically explained as ferric iron containing grossular. The next step further used Rietveld powder refinements of the various crystal structures in the Ia‾3d, R‾3c, R‾3, I41/a, Fddd, C2/c, and I‾1 space groups as well as a single mixture, which was followed by a comparative analysis of the R-values, site occupancy factors, and bond lengths and angles. The synthesis of these results showed both that the studied grossular garnet is not cubic and that it crystallized in the disordered Fddd space group with the final RB = 5.29% and RF = 1.75%. It was presumed that the grossular formed at temperatures between 150 and ~600 °C. Full article
