CT is known for almondine garnet. You can see garnets along the CT garnet trail in Glastonbury, but it's illegal to harvest garnets from that area. If you go to hammonasett beach ~30 min east of new haven, there's chances to find garnet sand along certain portions of beach, especially Webster point.
