These aren't just your ordinary Garnets, they are specially mined by ANTS!!! Yes, ants, the 6 legged insects that invade houses and destroy yards! In Arizona, as they are building their "anthills" they move the Garnets through their tunnels and just throw them out! They are considered to be one of the top quality types of red garnets with very deep reds and purples.
