Steve Herschbach Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 Impossible to tell from that photo. Do a hardness test for starters - garnet is between 7.5 and 8.5 on the mohs hardness scale. My guess is no - looks like a red stained rock. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff McClendon Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 I agree with Steve that the specimen you photographed is most likely not an iron rich garnet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
