Description

I believed these are spessartines, but apparently its almandine. It is interesting how some old, although wrong descriptions keep on. The thumbnail displays translucent deep red almandine crystal with lustrous deltoidal icositetrahedral faces in calcite lined cavity of rhyolite. Must be fun collecting those, one of my favorite places on the list.
