Matteo:
Your photos are superb and a delight to view so I hope that you will not mind my asking a question about the identity of one of them. I am sure you are correct because you appear to have the ability to properly identify even the very obscure species, but the "andradite" (photo LA023b -> https://www.mineral-forum.com/message-board/files/la023bmini_339.jpg ) does not appear to have the proper morphology for a garnet. Are you certain that it is a garnet?
