 | "Green’s
Farm Garnet Mine is an old, classic location. Large almandine garnet crystals to 1" across
can be found in both hard rock or loose in the soil. The old mine dumps are also scattered
around the woods and provide loose crystals without much work. The garnet is a dark
wine red to black color, and commonly dodecahedral crystals in a schist matrix. Much of
the matrix is very soft, but the best garnets are found in the harder schist. The mine is
located in a rural area of northwest CT." Location: Green's Farm, Roxbury, Connecticut
