Uncle Ron Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 Yo All...Couple days ago was beepster up in the Vultures and got a strong hit...Looked down and spec'ed this beauty right on the surface, but it turned out not to be the actual target...After picking it up and admiring it, the target was still there...The "target" turned out to be a good sized oxidized bit of buck shot, but the target was not magnetic nor loud on my minelab at all...After consulting several of my mineral identification books, I believe it is garnet, and a real beauty at that...I also might be tourmalene, but that's my second guess...All in all its about the size of a dime and would look real good on a ring...If you have an guess about what it is, please post here... Cheers, Yer Unc in the Dubyah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Shadow Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 Sure looks like Garnet to me. There is a patch of large Garnet crystals alongside the Crown King road below the train tunnel that run up to an inch in diameter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
