Garnet (Red Garnet)
Garnet Group. The red varieties seen in jewelry are typically Almandine (Fe3Al2(SiO4)3), Pyrope (Mg3Al2(SiO4)3), or a mix of the two (pyrope-almandine series).
Jade
There are two distinct minerals commonly known as Jade: Nephrite (a calcium magnesium silicate - Ca2(Mg,Fe)5Si8O22(OH)2) and Jadeite (a sodium aluminum silicate - NaAlSi2O6). Based on the image showing a typically softer, more fibrous appearance, it is likely Nephrite.

Garnet (likely Almandine or a blend)
Garnet group: X3Y2(SiO4)3, where X can be Ca, Mg, Fe2+, Mn2+ and Y can be Al, Fe3+, Cr3+. Given the dark, somewhat reddish-brown appearance in the image, it's likely Almandine (Fe3Al2(SiO4)3) or a mix with other iron-rich garnets.
