I THINK that garnet has six sides, tapering to a point at each end. Hope this helps!
The Barton Garnet Mine was established in 1878. The NY Subway Garnet, the best-formed crystal ever found in the state, was discovered during sewer excavation in 1885.
Pearls are not crystalline and don't have a crystal shape.
Agate, being a cryptocrystalline (microscopic crystal structure) form of quartz, does not have a crystal shape.
minerals get its crystal shape by the heating and pressure from rock
If the garnet is a color other than red, then yes. Garnet and ruby also have different crystal systems that can be distinguished by the examination of naturally occurring specimens. Once cut and polished, it would be difficult to distinguish between a red colored garnet and a ruby if both were gem grade.
Crystal Symmetry is the ability of a crystal to shape by nature and has a symmetrical shape. It's also referred about the occupation of diamond cutters.

The shape of an ionic crystal depends on the arrangement of the ions in the crystal lattice, which is determined by the sizes and charges of the ions involved. The coordination number and geometry of the ions also influence the overall shape of the crystal.
A crystal is a mineral where all of the atoms are in a row, this is what makes it kind of clear. What determines its shape is the amount of space it has to form in and will usually have triangular pyramidal edges.

Garnet is a beautiful shade of deep red, kind of like maroon but not so purple. Just think of red added with a tint of black.
