Garnet is desirable because it inherently transmits light differently in one direction than in another: It has a different index of refraction — the bending of light as it enters the material — depending on the direction of the beam. Garnet may be the magical material needed to produce net thrust from the zero point field. Best regards, Horace Heffner http://www.mtaonline.net/~hheffner/

Hmm. As far as I knew, garnet was one of the few isotropic gems. It isn't birefringent AFAIK, and I'd guess my wife isn't about to let me go near her jewelry cabinet to find out! What am I missing? --Kyle
