Almandine from
Woodlawn Quarry, Wilmington, New Castle County, Delaware, USA


Locality type:Quarry
Classification
Species:Almandine
Formula:Fe32+Al2(SiO4)3
Comments:From my personal mineral experience and my specimens from this site, the garnets appear to be almandine. Small crystals are considered rare and a lucky find, so these large crystals (up to over 1") are probably the best from the locale.
Habit:crude dodecahedral
Colour:very dark red/black
Luminescent properties:none
Quality for species:Good crystals or rich for species - important (!)
Abundance at site:Very Rare
Confirmation
Validity:Unconfirmed/Questioned
Associated Minerals Based on Photo Data:
Muscoviteā“˜2 photos of Almandine associated with Muscovite at this locality.
