No cut yet. They all still super rough and coated in surrounding rock. I have some small pieces that are pretty clear but it is a process to get down to the gems inside. Fun though! You can find some really good info online. Imanaged to find a Canada geology survey listing known garnet locations. I don't have the link but it is findable for sure.
