yes it is many people think it is an igneous rock because it is red

Garnet is a common mineral found in Earth's crust, accounting for about 0.1 to 0.6% by weight. It is widely distributed in metamorphic rocks, igneous rocks, and some sediments. Overall, garnet is one of the more abundant minerals on Earth.
Sedimentary rocks. and metamorphic rocks made form sedimentary rocks.
Yes, some garnet rocks can contain small amounts of gold within them due to their formation in mineral-rich environments. However, it is not common to find visible gold on the surface of garnet rocks as gold typically occurs in veins or grains within the rock. The presence of gold in garnet rocks can indicate potential for gold mineralization in surrounding areas.
Garnet schist rocks are commonly found in regions with high-grade metamorphic activity, such as mountain belts and continental margins. They are often associated with regions that have experienced intense geological processes, including high temperature and pressure conditions that resulted in the formation of metamorphic rocks like garnet schist.

Texture and mineral composition are the primary properties used to distinguish metamorphic rocks from other kinds of rocks. Metamorphic rocks usually have a foliated or banded texture and show signs of recrystallization due to high heat and pressure. They also contain distinct minerals that are characteristic of metamorphism, such as mica, garnet, or quartz.
There are three basic types of rock; sedimentary, igneous and metamorphic. Igneous rocks are formed by volcanic action and don't contain fossils. Sedimentary rocks are formed, usually under water, by eroded material accumulating. Metamorphic rocks are formed when sedimentary rocks are changed by heating and/or pressure. From this, you can see that sedimentary rocks are the most likely to contain fossils, although metamorphic rocks also can contain fossils. Any sedimentary rock can contain fossils, but some make fossil hunting easier. Shales and mudstones are particularly good; chalk is pretty much entirely made of fossils - it's formed of skeletons of small organisms, but its difficult to see the individual fossils.
If igneous rocks are exposed to extreme pressure and heat, they are likely to recrystallize into new igneous rocks. On the other hand, if sedimentary rocks are exposed to extreme pressure and heat, they are likely to metamorphose into metamorphic rocks.

yes fossils are found in sedimentary rocks but not in igneous and metamorphic rocks. hope this helps
