forts. These garnets, which are locally
known as Arizona and New Mexico ru-

gems weighing from two to three carats
each and upwards when cut, are not un-

with garnets are generally four or five
times as large, and from their pitted and
irregular appearance have been called
"Job's tears" They, however, do not
approach those from the Levant either in
size or Color.-Ex.
