[QUOTE="22shells, post: 376523, member: 3817"] Nice garnets, if I found some like that I'd try and get one cut then see what it turns out like. I haven't had much luck with finding garnets to cut. A few months ago I got some good size andradite garnets but they are black with only a little bit of red on the edge on some of them. This weekend I found some almandine garnets, on Sat the ones I got were very small (1mm) but under magnification some had good red colour. Then yesterday got onto some bigger ones (2-5mm) still small I guess but they look a bit brown. Need a way to clean them. [/QUOTE]
