Figure 3. above shows the RAMAN data analysis. The red line represents the given mineral's RAMAN analysis and the yellow line shows the RAMAN shift data for the mineral that is most likely identity of the given mineral (grossular). In RAMAN Spectroscopy, a sample is shot with a beam of light from a laser. When the light hits the crystal surface, the light will then be scattered and collected through with a lens and sent through a spectrophotometer to obtain RAMAN sample data Instruments 2012. The RAMAN data showed that the given mineral was in fact most likely grossular and not spessartine. The peaks in the two graphs show characteristic RAMAN frequencies, which indicate composition of the material. In this case, the yellow graph reveal that the material is Ca3Al2Si3O12 or grossular. The first peak located at around 350 RAMAN shift is characteristic of calcitic garnets like grossular Henderson 2009. The two lines are not perfectly identical to each other, and that is most likely because that the given mineral is a solid-solution of a calcitic garnet and another type garnet mineral. The peak heights vary in certain areas and it seems that the pure grossular RAMAN data is higher than the given mineral. The given mineral also has a wider RAMAN shift domain reaching up to 2000 RAMAN shift. This is all most likely due to the fact that the given mineral was not a pure grossular, which accounts for the differences in the RAMAN shifts and the intensity in the graphs.
