Garnet is a non-hydrous mineral, meaning it will form in environments where there is very little water. During the metamorphosis of a rock, as it's being squeezed and compacted by high pressures and heated by high temperatures, the water is driven out and the minerals that contain water are transformed to minerals with a different chemical composition that do not contain water, such as garnet.
