What do you think, Kyanite? This is from garnet hill on 98.   |

Scott, I know there's supposed to be quite a bit of kyanite in that area, so I'd say it's certainly possible.

Thank you, I remember being told there was kyanite there by a professor when I was a student. Just hadn't been shown that many examples of grey or clear kyanite. Here's a couple pictures of the kyanite wraping around a garnet.   |

There is Kyanite at this location along with Sillimanite and the garnets. That looks typical for the location. Nice rocks!

Wondering--what type of garnet is that? The faceted kind? I have a bunch of garnets that seem to be mostly rounder and crumbly looking. What are they called?  Thanks, fredda |

Thanks, fredda These are just regular almandine variety garnets. Unfortunately, I've been told they are not very facetable because they are filled with fractures.  Of course I have no experience with faceting and there's a possibility that some facet grade garnets can come out of this stuff. Can I have that? kyanite wrapped around the garnet? please? Sure! Give me your address and I'll ship it to you. The location is just down the street from me, so I can get as much as I want. ;D |
