chrisski 893 Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Can you give us a hint where you’re finding these? Whether it’s from (fill in the blank) state or a garage sale? Any luck on the scrape test or finding the specific gravity? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Caliche Chris 189 Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Those sure look a lot like the rare garnets that have the “star” in them. I forget what it’s called but when you polish them up they have a cool affect and show a asterisk looking star on the face of the stone when seen in the right light. An old lady gave me a big jar of them. They are so purple they are almost black unless you put a light behind them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
