[QUOTE="Keen Ken, post: 392891, member: 211"] Hi 22shells, it's a bit hard to tell from the picture, could be anything depending on where it's from, they maybe poor quality cassiterite, zircon or like you say garnet or none of the above. Hand loupe will find crystal faces and form if there is any. I have found small pieces of carnelian that behaves and looks similar. I don't intend to hijack this topic, maybe someone else might know.
