Garnet in Schist is the same rock as a mica schist with the exception of the inclusion of the garnets (too cool!). The original rock type is typically a clayey rock with some calcite content such as a siltstone or a mudstone. The major minerals in a schist are quartz and mica.
Garnet is the name used to describe a large group of silicate, rock-forming minerals. Each species of garnet have similar physical properties and are similar in crystal form, they do however differ in chemical composition.
