Mined in the rock, or alluvially [ in stream beds ]. Alluvial gems are washed out by erosin or previous mining activity.
The mineral that can scratch garnet is topaz. On the Mohs scale of mineral hardness, garnet has a hardness of about 6.5 to 7.5, while topaz has a hardness of 8. This means that topaz is harder than garnet and can scratch it. Other minerals with a higher hardness, such as corundum (which includes sapphires and rubies), can also scratch garnet.
Calderite is a garnet mineral.
Yes, garnet is not a magnetic mineral. It does not exhibit any magnetic properties when tested.
An andradite is a specific mineral of the garnet group.
A garnet is a hard, crystalline mineral. In nature it is usually rough and jagged, but it can be polished for use in jewelry

Garnet is a mineral, of the Al SiO3 community, with other contributions as well. Some times used as a minor gemstone. A cubic mineral, found often enough in metamorphosed rocks such as schist.
The mineral that can scratch feldspar and can be scratched by garnet is quartz. Quartz has a hardness of 7 on the Mohs scale, making it capable of scratching feldspar, which has a hardness of 6. Meanwhile, garnet has a hardness of around 6.5 to 7.5, allowing it to scratch quartz but not all varieties of garnet will scratch quartz.
