Anyone know what this stone could be? It is very hard and the edges are streight and even. Could be nothing but i would like to know before i write it off. Thanks.
I used to find a lot of garnets panning in Montana, and Colorado - put up more close, clear pics !
Where did you find it? Not specifically, but general area.
(its not the quality of the pic, thats fine. but different angles matter. maybe not to you but it will to someone who can help id the stone by cleavage planes/crystal axes. and its those 'slight variations' that can make all the difference in an id.)
They appear to be worked to me...could have come off a piece of jewelry and found its way to your pan. I'd metal detect the area.
