[QUOTE="Heatho, post: 409674, member: 487"] A scratch test and specific gravity test will probably need to be done now to gain any further insight into what they are. Garnet has quite a wide specific gravity between specimens from 3.5 to 4.3 whereas corundum is between 3.95 to 4.1. Corundum is much harder than garnet as well. [/QUOTE]
