<p>[QUOTE="Barn Owl, post: 616441, member: 4864"]Sorry to hijack this thread, but on the topic of garnets, I picked up this Victorian brooch recently and was confused by the stones. It's like the bottom half of the stones (both facing up and facing down) have a purplish hue when they catch the light. Are they rhodolite garnets too? No hallmarks (that is just a dent on the pin), but the metal is goldish-silver tone. The stones are quite large at 1 cm tall and .5 cm wide.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]180585[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]180586[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
