  • Yes, but how many of these are actually "gem" quality garnets, with good color and excellent transparency with little to no inclusions? Most likely very, very little.

  • @mrshinyshoes non, but they still have value for their large size and impressive crystal form.. If they were gem quality I would be a zillionaire...

  • In astrology, garnet stone-misery, for the most important of the magical properties attributed to him - bear a strong thirst - often turns against its owner. In addition, he alleged, gives strength and power of the earth, and binds to things.

    Grenades on the eastern and European beliefs, symbolize perseverance and strength, persistence and dedication, health and fidelity. The Persians considered him a stumbling king, and believes that anyone who wears garnet, acquires power over people.

  • @Alexsusik1976 All very interesting.. I am not big on the healey feely scene though.. They are what they are and thats the sum of it.. What evert floats your boat though dude..

  • Wow!! Great video and what awesome garnet crystals. What do you do with them, if this isn't a dumb question? I'd love a small one for my collection... how much to ship one to the UK? Good hunting and thanks for sharing :D

  • Now I crave to find something of semi-intrinsic value but I'm stuck in the worst place to find such a thing. All I can find is The Patuxent River Stone aka, pink quartzite. If anyone can help please let me know.

  • @zaqqaz22 Thanks for replying. Value doesn't matter to me, these look incredible. I'd love to collect there, shame it's privately owned. Well, happy collecting (:

  • @zaqqaz22 Woo! Your an inspiration my friend. ;D
