“Tiny garnet crystal, about 0.75 mm across, on pale gray (and highly fluorescent) fluorapatite. This translucent orange crystal could be spessartine, but without an analysis, I'm calling it almandine-spessartine series for now. Collected October 28, 2012 on a MMGS field trip. Update: EDS analysis shows this to be spessartine. ”
