This document provides information on garnet, a material used for surface preparation by abrasive blasting. It describes garnet's physical properties such as its deep red to brown color, specific gravity, and mineral composition. The summary also notes that garnet is non-toxic and inert, with no special storage or transport requirements. It can cause minor eye or respiratory irritation if exposure limits are exceeded but otherwise has no known health effects.
