Locality type: Alluvials Classification Species: Majorite Formula: Mg3 (MgSi)(SiO4 )3 Comments: Both Ragozin et al.(2020) and Nestola et al.(2016) mention "majoritic garnets" as inclusions in diamonds. Neither of them provide any analytical data, and the term "majoritic garnet" may well represent pyropes with a small majoritic component.
