[QUOTE="user 12139, post: 629832, member: 12139"] An ol' fella years back showed me a trick with garnet. If you get a narrow beam torch like a laser and point it into the stone, it soaks up all the light. You cant get the light to hit the opposite side from where your pointing it into the stone. He and his wife use to spend 3 months a year north of Mt Isa chasing garnet for his sons jewellery shop back in Sydney. When I met him in Townsville he was on his way home with about 6 x 20L buckets full :o [/QUOTE]
