Almandine

Qingshui River, Weibin District, Baoji, Shaanxi, China
Locality type:River
Classification
Species:Almandine
Formula:Fe32+Al2(SiO4)3
Confirmation
Validity:Confirmed
Confirmation Methods:Inferred (explain how)
Confirmation Details:Inferred (explain how): Method-Specific Details - According to the discussion in【https://zh.mindat.org/article.php/4401/Garnets+in+granite+pegmatites】,Primary garnet in granite consists solely of almandine-spessartine. In those granites where pegmatite development is less pronounced, there are no associated minerals—such as biotite—to consume the iron; therefore, I believe this specimen is more consistent with almandine. It is undeniable that it certainly contains a significant proportion of spessartine components.
