This could be a great mini series, once a week we could get a "Geology lesson of the day." Thanks Dan!

Its always nice to be reminded of things I learned in minerology.

The garnet group consists of a bunch of minerals, but what they have in common is that the atoms that make up the lattice are all arranged in a particular way. If you want to know more, look up "garnet unit cell structure".

Colour change garnets of the pyrope-spessartine series can sometimes be blue. Although they are very rare.

What I would really like to know, what is the best riffle design, mat or matting, and/or sluice box configuration to “catch or capture” Garnets or any gem stones.??

THANK YOU Dan! I was wondering where these green garnets were coming from, that are being advertised, on the internet. I never knew that that it was a family grouping.
