| Small anhedral pyrope garnets and ilmenite can be collected from the shallow pit that remains. |
|
| Garnet has a general grain size of about 3 mm and its composition is almandine, pyrope, spessartine and grossular. |
|
| These include aquamarine, chrome diopside, diamond, jade, labradorite, forsterite, opal, pyrope, variscite, and many unique agates and jaspers. |
|
| Another garnet, a mixture of pyrope and spessartine, is called malaya garnet in the gem trade. |
|
| Rhodolite, a red variety that usually has a tinge of purple in it, is a mixture of almandine and pyrope. |
|
| Instead of panning out gold, several would be prospectors panned out pyrope garnet. |
|
| For example, the garnet with a composition halfway between spessartite and pyrope is known as malaia. |
|
| The garnet is rich in the high-pressure species pyrope, and the omphacite is rich in the high-pressure pyroxene jadeite. |
|
| In this area, till samples that contain more than 5 sand-sized pyrope grains in a 10 kg sample are considered anomalous. |
|
| Rhodolite Garnet, for instance, is a combination of almandine and pyrope and is sometimes referred to as pyrope-almandine garnet. |
|
| Three peridotitic garnets were identified and particularly one high-Cr pyrope G9 was found in the northeast part of the study area. |
|
| Cr-diopside is similar in abundance to pyrope and is present in almost every sample. |
|
| A pyrope is a garnet formed at great depth and pyropes called G9 and G10 come from kimberlites. |
|
| Some of the characteristic minerals found in kimberlite are olivine, pyrope garnet, enstatite, diopside, ilmenite, phlogopite, perovskite, magnetite, and spinel. |
|
| Although each stone varies slightly, the mixture is roughly about 55 percent pyrope and 37 percent almandite, along with other elements. |
|
| The prized G-10 or harzburgitic pyrope is a high chromium garnet suggestive of diamond potential. |
|
| Last year program yielded kimberlite indicator minerals as such as kosmochlor diopside, fosterite olivine and G11 pyrope garnet. |
|
| Pure pyrope and pure almandine are rare in nature and most specimens are a percentage of the two. |
|
| The relative abundance of pyrope, Cr-diopside, Mg-ilmenite and chromite varies between the four kimberlite pipes. |
|
| In addition, rhodolite is a pale rose-red garnet made up of two parts pyrope and one part almandine. |
|
|
|
| In the introduction to the garnet group, the various distinct species such as pyrope, almandite, grossularite, andradite, and spessartite are referred to as varieties. |
|
| In the Kirkland Lake and Lake Timiskaming kimberlite field of northeastern Ontario, eskers contain pyrope and kimberlite boulders several km down-ice from kimberlites. |
|
| Its winged ballet causes our hearts to deliciously skip a beat as it delicately alights on a long necklace in yellow gold, or dives amongst pearls, pyrope garnet hearts and amethysts. |
|
| Rhodolite is a pinkish red variety of pyrope. |
|
| Transparent red and reddish purple pyrope from the Middle East and from the former Czechoslovakia have been utilized in this capacity for centuries. |
|
| Eclogites represent the most deep-seated conditions of metamorphism and are characterized by an assemblage of omphacite and magnesium-rich pyrope garnet. |
|
| The garnet characteristic of these rocks is rich in pyrope. |
|
| Kelyphite reaction rims are present on some pyrope grains transported up to 35 km from source pipes: the presence of kelyphite does not necessarily imply proximity to a kimberlite source. |
|
| No pyrope garnets were found in Hotish-3, meaning that in such a case, pyropes cannot be used for kimberlite tracing, so other KIM have to be used. |
|
| It is noteworthy that, near Cold Lake in east-central Alberta, prospectors are reported to have discovered G10 pyrope garnets but, as of yet, there is little information available. |
|
| At Calling Lake, Buffalo Diamonds has collected over 500 samples and identified thousands of diamond indicator mineral grains with excellent chemistries, including at least 66 Guerney G10 pyrope garnets. |
|
| Almandine, spessartine, grossular, uvarovite, andradite and pyrope are six minerals which are regarded as belonging to the garnet family. |
|
| These pyrope garnet compositions fall within the G9 classification and extend the lherzolite trend due to their elevated chromium compositions. |
|
| Two samples contain highly anomalous concentrations of pyrope garnet and ilmenite with minor chromite and eclogitic garnet. |
|
| The mineral trains are composed of pyrope and eclogitic garnets, as well as ilmenite. |
|
| The first of these is pyrope garnet, the name coming from the Greek word for fiery. |
|
| This property is host to pyrope beach sands dominated by favourable G10 pyrope mineral chemistry. |
|
| Pyrope garnet, clinopyroxenes and chromite minerals are among the most typical diamond indicator minerals found in kimberlites. |
