I just got an iridescent garnet crystal cluster. They were also selling them tumbled which showed the colours better. Under the microscope, the lamellar structure is quite visible. Rainbow Andradite garnet.
Apparently some have been faceted with moderate success.

I love this stuff. I kick myself every time I see some because I never bought one when it was relatively available.
