Almandine is one end-member of a mineral solid solution series, with the other end member being the garnet pyrope.

Harzburgitic diamonds typically have titaniferous pyrope, chromian spinel and Cr-diopside inclusions, minerals which are not typically found in eclogites.

User : Pyrope used to deal with this a lot of the time, but, understandably, he's had enough.
25.
In petrographic thin section, the most distinguishing features of pyrope are those shared with the other common garnets : high relief and isotropy.
26.
The lack of cleavage, commonly euhedral crystal morphology, and mineral associations should also be used in identification of pyrope under the microscope.
27.
I would expect Arcayne to be similarly reprimanded, as it seems to me a case of unmitigated bias on the part of Pyrope.
