Here are some rocks that I collected while I was out prospecting for gold. I know some are garnets but I need help identifying the others. Thank You in advance...
GoodyGuy said:The second and forth are the same stone and appear to me to be olivine because of the yellow green color also known as Chrysolite.
It is referred to as "Peridot" only when it is gem quality, yours is specimen
grade and not quite gem quality.
While Citrine was the first name to come to mind when I first saw your stone, further examination has led me to favor olivine due to structure and color.
As to the first and third, I believe you have examples of Pyrope also known as garnet or cape ruby, once again specimen grade only, not gem quality.
