I found this bad boy in the landscaping rock around my house. Don't laugh, I have found jasper and moss agate in there already. This guy gleamed when I shot it with weed killer. I would love some help with identification. It looks like a giant garnet to me....is that wishful thinking? let me know what your thoughts are? Thank you, thank you in advance.

It was defiantly tumbled in river rock. I thought jasper but was thrown off by the uniform color. If you google Wyoming garnet looks similar. I don't know where the rocks came from. I'm not much help.
