So the backstory is that i never have been into gems much but after a recent prospecting trip for gold i found a small emerald in my pan and needless to say i think i'm slightly pumped about gem possibilities now. I did some research after i noticed some black rocks that were constantly in my heavies and i'm thinking they could be raw garnets? but i'm not sure, i want to open it up to some with better knowledge of the subject so ive attached a picture with red marks next to the suspected "garnets". Any help would be awesome, i'm just wondering if i've genuinely found garnets or if i'm incorrect.

Thanks

If you don't get an answer here you may want to post it farther down the forms in "geological form" under "rocks/gems".
Good luck!
