Comments:
These tiny, perfect little garnets are exceptionally bright, and very richly orange colored. Very Fanta. These are a good size range for setting in jewelry. As a set, there are a lot that would work perfectly in jewelry, and a few that wouldn't. I'd estimate if you intended to find 6 that could safely be set, you would find the ones you need.
Or if these are for a mineral collection, they are a perfect candidate. They're sharp, and show a range of crystal morphology. These absolutely GLOW in good lighting.
