How About Those Garnets
Since we all like to talk about our hones and we talk about garnets I thought I'd show you some of mine:
Dodecahedrons- Iron Garnets from Roxbury, Connecticut but don't try to hone with them. They're too big.No matter how many men you kill you can't kill your successor-Emperor Nero

What grit are those garnets? Could I use them for bevel setting?

I have a pretty big mineral collection and those are the iron garnets from the collection which I collected myself around 35 years ago. I probably have 5 or 6 different types of garnets.

Well, I guess you could but those particular ones are pretty ugly. There are others which are just nicer colors and that are translucent to transparent. Originally Posted by McWolf1969

While taking the farey down from Haines Junction, AK. we stopped at one of the islands in the route. Picked up a few rocks with garnets in them. Would be cool to know if the matrix was serviceable as a hone
No clue...
