Where are garnet schist rocks commonly found?
Garnet schist-- as well as mica schist--can be found anywhere where clay rock with some calcite content-- such as siltstone or a mudstone, for example-- can be compressed (via metamorphism) and consequently sqeezed into rock-like layers.
How is garnet is formed?
A Mica Garnet schist is a metamorphic rock formed from a shale or a granitic mother rock when this is squashed and heated at death in the crust.
Which metamorphic rocks are likely to contain garnet?
yes it is many people think it is an igneous rock because it is red
What color does garnet leave on a streak plate?
Regardless of the color of the garnet specimen, it would leave a white streak.
What color is the color garnet?
red - pyrope garnet, spessartine, almandine yellow - mali, andradite green - tsavorite, grossular garnet, uvarovite, demantoid orange - mandarin garnet, spessartite(spessartine), hessonite brown- spessarite, hessonite, andradite blue, purple - color-change garnet

What type of sediments are garnets in?
Sediments which are derived from some schist rock formations might contain garnet.
What color streak does garnet leave?
Garnet leaves no color in a streak test .
What does schist look like?
Sheen, usually attributable to mica crystals. --------------------------------------------- There is a bit more to it than this (although the above is true). The individual mineral grains in a schist are drawn out into flaky scales by heat and pressure and can be seen by the naked eye. Schist is therefore characteristically foliated, meaning the individual mineral grains split off easily into flakes or slabs. Indeed, the word schist is derived from the Greek word meaning "to split", which is a reference to the ease with which schists can be split along the plane in which the platy minerals lie.
What is the color of schist?
The color of schist depends on its mineral composition. It can be gray, yellow, light or dark green, brown, or even black.
