Difference between Garnet and Hornfels

Garnet vs. Hornfels

Garnets are a group of silicate minerals that have been used since the Bronze Age as gemstones and abrasives. Hornfels (German, meaning "hornstone") is called so because of its exceptional toughness and texture both reminiscent of animal horns.
