Garnet Crystals in Mica Schist - Pick Your Exact Piece

Reddish garnet crystals sit embedded in glittering mica schist on these specimens, a striking contrast of deep color against silvery shimmer.

Every number is a different piece, so look through the photos and choose the one you like best. The piece you select is the exact one we ship. Display yours on a shelf or desk, add it to a mineral collection, or give it to someone born in January, since garnet is the January birthstone.

Specimens range from about 2.125 to 2.75 inches long and 1 to 1.75 inches thick. See the size chart below for each number.

About Garnet in Schist

Garnet is a group of silicate minerals, typically red. Schist is a metamorphic rock whose aligned mica gives it shimmer, and it often holds larger garnet crystals that grew during metamorphism.

Stone Meaning: Garnet is traditionally associated with energy and devotion.
