- Abstract
The article describes some attractive euhedral crystals of a new orange-red garnet from Tanzania. It is noted that the crystals, which were displayed by Steve Ulatowski at the Tucson gem shows, were mined from an area in Lindi Province. Among the properties yielded by the cut stone were transparent diaphaneity and inert to both long- and short-wave ultraviolet radiation fluorescence. Pinpoint inclusions, short needles and straight transparent growth lines were revealed by microscopic examination.
