[Rockhounds] AD- Connecticut Almandine

[Lawrence Rush]

I realize I have been posting a lot of "ADs" recently, but it seems like an 
active mineral year for me, so I'll push my luck one more time.....

I hit a good vein at the Roxbury Falls Almandine mine last week, so I have 
put some photos on the web site:

www.ConnRoxMinerals.com/Almandine.html

This location produces an abundance of poor to fair Almandine crystals in a 
gneiss and mica schist, and is a popular digging site for children of all 
ages.
The ones I dug last week are a bit unusual for the site, and deserve a 
little publicity, I thought.
