Description

This is a nice specimen of two garnets in matrix from the Red Embers Mine, Massachusetts, United States. Analysis of the garnets found there seem to be predominately almandine with some pyrope and spessartine components. The matrix is a graphite rich schist or phyllite. The dark red to almost blackish appearing crystals are sometimes called “Werewolf Garnets”, because with strong backlight the garnets will appear bright blood red, much like the eyes of a staring predator.
