Garnet Crystals in Mica Schist - Pick Your Exact Piece, 5.25-6.5 In

Want to see garnet the way it forms in nature? Here the crystals sit in glittering mica schist, a rock that sparkles in the light. These raw specimens show how garnet looks in the stone where it formed.

They are fascinating pieces for a geology lover, a teacher or a collector who enjoys minerals in their natural setting. Set one on a shelf near a window and the mica will shimmer while the garnets glow red. It is also a meaningful gift for a January birthday.

Each numbered option is pictured on its own, so the piece you see is the piece you receive. Specimens are about 5.25 to 6.5 inches long, 4.5 to 4.75 inches wide and 1.5 to 2 inches thick.

About Garnet in Schist

Schist is a metamorphic rock in which platy minerals such as mica align in layers, giving it a shimmer. It often contains larger crystals of garnet, which grow as the rock is heated and squeezed during mountain building. Garnet has a hardness of 6.5 to 7.5.

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