Garnet find!

[Culley01]

I found this loose nugget of garnet in nor-cal. light can penetrate it but not to the center. I am unsure if its pyrope or almandine but it weighs 40.69 grams 203.60 carats I've never found something so awesome to me not only that, but its my birthstone lol

That is beautiful. My birthstone also. I have a jar full of little tiny garnets I learned to pan out from ruby lake montana. I have seen some Frazier river nephrite jade kind of like that and some sort of ?? from the continental divide close to lander wyo.
