TYPES OF MINERALS

Blood Red Garnet    Garnet it so beautiful! On a geology field trip I found magnetite with tiny garnets in it! Such a proud find.

Garnet

  Garnets are found in certain metamorphic
rocks, such as schists. They form good
crystals and there are many kinds, but they
are usually dark red or reddish-brown.
They are used as gemstones.
