Discussion
: "Garnets. Why the FUCK are they so confusing? How can there be a garnet that's both pyrope AND spessartite? What's with this crazy alphabet soup of lab garnets, with all the YAG and the GGG and the GYAGG and the like? And most importantly, why does Arya call them "slutty"? It's all explained here :D"
