"Garnet" is the name given to a group of chemically and physically similar minerals. A very small number of garnets are pure and flawless enough to be cut as gemstones. The majority of garnet mining is for massive garnet that is crushed and used to make abrasives. ... ; Garnet Schist; More Garnet Photos...

I was calling it "garnet schist," but actually it's better described as a gneiss than a schist. Both are foliated metamorphic rocks, but schist is easily split due to the thin platy minerals in it (mostly mica).

This garnet-kyanite schist has a long history. It was originally deposited as silts and muds about 800 million years ago between North America and an island in the eastern Atlantic romantically called Avalonia.

The garnets, the roundish red crystals, in this specimen indicate high temperature metamorphism. Individual, equidimensional garnet crystals are clearly visible growing within the foliations of the rock.
