Final answer:

Garnet is commonly produced during metamorphism.

Step-by-step explanation:

The mineral commonly produced during metamorphism is garnet. During metamorphism, rocks with a shale protolith will have quartz, feldspar, and muscovite mica. However, garnet is a new mineral that often forms as porphyroblasts during metamorphism.
