In most metamorphic rocks, garnets are typically associated with the mica minerals and other metamorphic minerals such as staurolite, kyanite, and sillimanite. Calcium-rich garnet varieties usually form in metamorphosed carbonate rocks where they may be found with calcite, wollastonite, or metallic ore deposits.
