GarnetThe name garnet probably was derived from the pomegranate, a fruit whose deep red-purple color reminds of some varieties of garnet. Many ancient pieces of garnet jewelry are studded whit tiny red gems that look like a cluster of pomegranate seeds.
Although red is the color most often encountered, garnet comes in a variety of colors, from deep red to tangerine orange to lime green to pale pink, as well as purple, gold and brown. The only color it cannot offer is blue.
A number of mystical properties were attributed to the garnet throughout history. It was thought to protect its wearer from a range of ailments, ward off evil spirits, spark creativity, dispel anger, light up the night and protect from nightmares.
By the term 'garnet', the specialist understands a group of more than ten different gemstones of similar chemical composition and good hardness of 7 to 7.5 on the Mohs scale. Garnet is the birthstone for January.
