Garnet in Mica Schist Matrix - Pick Your Exact Piece, Natural Crystal

These natural garnet specimens show reddish garnet crystals set in a shimmering mica schist matrix, just as they formed in the rock.

Add one to a mineral collection, set it on a desk where the mica can catch the light, or give it as a January birthstone gift. These small specimens are an easy way to start collecting minerals in their natural setting.

Each numbered option is pictured on its own, so the piece you see is the piece you receive. Specimens are about 1.5 to 2.25 inches long, and each size is listed below.

About Garnet in Schist

Garnet is a group of silicate minerals with a hardness of 6.5 to 7.5, usually red, and it is the birthstone for January. Schist is a metamorphic rock whose platy mica minerals line up in layers, which gives it its shimmer, and it often hosts larger garnet crystals.

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