[QUOTE="Lefty, post: 485267, member: 2976"] Had the specimens sent to a gemmologist who confirmed them as garnet (of an overwhelmingy pyrope %) and black spinel. Not sure about the volcanic rock they are embedded in together but the specimen is in mum's garden :D and is very similar to Marty's (the host rock, not the embedded crystals). Will see if I can get a photo next time I'm over there. Had a smaller piece with garnet and black spinel in it together but don't know where that one went. Think it was the one we sent for testing.
