Please ID - Garnets?

Hei.

Please, are these Garnets? I found them in Helsinki on a beach of pink granite rock. I don't know if the granite was put there or if it is locally there although there is pink granite in bed rock as Ive seen it in the rounded cliffs there.

Please advise.

Thank you.

Claire

The red crystals are probably garnets.
