Stillweaver hillbelli Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Almandine. Hmmm , no cleavage, and fractures like glass(chonchoidal fracture). No scale in the pic, how big? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d_day Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 My first impression was garnets, but there was no size reference. The container I could see made them look much larger than they are, which made me think they might be sard. Now that we’ve got a size reference I’d say they are most likely garnets. I’d still like to know the hardness and specific gravity before concluding they are garnets, but at this point I’m at about 95% that that’s what they are. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idaho Jim Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Widely variable color, for garnets, assuming they were from one location. I just don't know for sure. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
