[QUOTE="Lefty, post: 227827, member: 2976"] Me too :) They were formed incredible spans of time ago in volcanoes or some related process, they've been walked over by dinosaurs and other creatures long since vanished, they were here when comets hit the Earth and they've lain hidden in the ground all that time. When you find one, you're the first person who has ever seen it. Pretty special I reckon, that's why I like fossicking as much as I like faceting. Just had a good look at some garnets I found myself at another locality - they're almost all dark but there is a lighter coloured one among them, the shape of which looks like it would lend itself to be cut in half for a pair of earring stones. Might be my next project. [/QUOTE]
