Found this rock with round red crystals today in Southern Saskatchewan. I've never seen anything like it, hoping to identify.

1st - I noticed this was your very first post - so, Welcome Aboard Laura b! You didn't list your state (or country) in your profile. So, you might consider jumping over to Sub-Forum: Select Your Area.... for information (i.e., clubs, hunts, finds, legends, maps, etc.) directly related to your state (or country).

2nd - If no one can identify your find - you might consider posting your pictures on ROCKS/GEMS for more exposure...

Agreed. They are (most likely) almandine garnets in matrix. Nice stuff there.
