Garnet Ridge is located in the Navajo volcanic field near Dinnehotso. It is named for the pyrope garnets that occur in the serpentine deposits that intrude host rocks of Jurassic age about 35 miles NE of Kayenta, AZ.

Carmichaelite and other unusual minerals occur in an ultramafic diatreme.

The serpentine deposits are mainly in pipes choked with rock debris derived from a section more than 5,000 feet thick, ranging in age from Precambrian (?) to Cretaceous.

The intrusive serpentine deposits occur as pipe fillings and, rarely, as dikes & sills. The pipes are aligned NE-ward, parallel to the regional strike, but the dikes are parallel to joints that trend NW-ward. Pipe No. 1, at the crest of the ridge, measures 1,000 feet across; pipes 2, 3 & 4, about 2 miles NE, form a cluster 1,500 to 4,000 feet diameter, which trends NW-ward. The pipes are steep-walled & irregularly shaped.
