What lies within

Today I find myself back at the show rustling around more rocks. This is the last one I got. Looks like a piece of turd doesn't it?

Here is another view. You can see some bits of crystal along the top right edge.

When I cleave open the rock, here is a garnet in it's heart.

This stone is from Garnet Hill, California. Where I hear near by there is the most beautiful campground. An oldtimer tells me his wife would mix up a pack of jello with water in a container, submerge it in the nearby river and it would be ready by dinner after a day of rockhounding, this he tells me from his wheelchair.
