Hi Friends,

Good day

I have a question and I hope you can assist to inform me more. My question is: Can Natural Almandite Garnet exist in the exact same form as this crystal (Picture attached) and with the same crystallization? Note that the crystal in the picture is a Chrysoberyl stone.

Thank you
George

Not the "exact same form". Chrysoberyl is orthorhombic and almandine is isometric. There is no overlap between the crystal forms of the two. Although you might think some chyrsoberyl resembles some distorted almandine crystals, I can't imagine it's more than a vague resemblance.
