TS2- HYDROGROSSULAR GARNET: PHOTOS, PART ONE

The following are photos of hydrogrossular garnets from Gemstone Beach, all but a handful having been found by myself over the past four or five years. Some photos are of “rough” stones, in the state as they were found on the beach, unpolished. Others are of “polished” stones, having been tumble-polished by myself. Nearly all are photographed dry, though polished stones are very similar to wet ones. (Photos of wet rough stones can be found in the Blog Posts listed at the bottom of HYDROGROSSULAR GARNET.)
