Planet Earth Phenomenon - Naturally etched Garnet Almandine-Spessartine Re-named in 1832 by François Sulpice Beudant after its type locality in the Spessart Mountains, Germany. Previously distinguished as a "manganesian" garnet by Henry Seybert in 1823 using mineral from Haddam, Connecticut, USA. Originally, this mineral, from Spessart Mountains, was called granatförmiges braunsteinerz in 1797 by Martin Klaproth. photo credit: © Enrico Bonacina source: http://www.mindat.org/photo-508312.html via:http://mineralia.tumblr.com | Facebook
