[QUOTE="AtomRat, post: 541343, member: 3111"] It's much easier to know what you are looking for and where, rather than trying to figure out random rocks. Some rocks cannot be identified simply by color. Zircons have a wide range of color, just like most other gems. The daysford ones if rounded will be tricky to tell apart, but the zircon crystals will be long, compared to the garnets Get a gem book or research for areas that says what gemstone is where, and dig for exactly what that info says.
