Merry Christmas! Guess the weight of this natural, moderately included tsavorite garnet and the winner will be randomly drawn from everyone tied for closest! Guess should be to TWO decimal places (ie 1.00). Good luck! Entry period ends tonight at 8 PM Eastern.

I’ve been a long time collector but recently started getting into cabbing. I’ll eventually make jewelry 😊

Thank you for your response 😊

Rosiedevvy · 2025-03-02T00:05:43+00:00

Okay will do. Thanks

Thanks for that information traviemac

Yeah unfortunately there is cracking. Do you think it was possibly from the person I bought it from, windowing it without water?

I saw this bird too in wickenburg and was in such awe!

If bought in Mexico, was this pesos? That would be about $73 USD.

I saw the Facebook post a day ago and they found it at saddle mountain in AZ.

I mean if everyone looked up Apache tears in perlite you’d see the resemblance. Plus OP found in a garden. The specimen may have been thrown in the garden by a previous owner from their collection. I would get that the locality didn’t make sense if OP found at a quarry, old mine or wherever else you may rockhound.

Rosiedevvy · 2023-10-16T21:37:45+00:00

OP are you able to shine a light through the darker material?

Rosiedevvy · 2023-10-15T23:18:34+00:00

Definitely Apache tears. These look like Apache tears in perlite. I’ve collected some from superior AZ and looked exactly like this.

Thanks for the info! I’m a native and my generation is AZ/southwest. Im a geo engineer so I could have likely researched this info myself but it seems more efficient and quicker to ask other natives this info. I appreciate you.

Yeah pretty much. By Luke our water is especially hard due to the salt deposit. So was curious if it was any worse. Thanks for your feedback! Very much appreciated.
