| β Almandine Formula: Fe2+3Al2(SiO4)3 Description: '"Most of the larger garnets occur in the granite, with individual crystals widely spaced throughout the matrix. Smaller crystals are found in patches of granite pegmatite. The host rock is often weathered, resulting in a film of brown iron hydroxides on the garnet crystals, which may dislodge easily. The garnets are the largest and most attractive found in Victoria. Crystals may reach 5 cm across, although those exceeding about 2.5cm in diameter tend to be distorted and show stepped faces. Crystals between about 5 mm and 2 cm are more symmetrical, with the basic form being the trapezohedron. Modification by dodecahedral faces is common, and becomes more apparent as the diameter of the crystals increases. The colour ranges from brownish to purplish red, but most of the crystals are heavily flawed, few are of gem quality." Reference: W. D. Birch in Gem Minerals of Victoria, p.81-82 |
