Other colors such as violet, lavender, green and other reds or golden hues are available. Garnet occurs in every color except blue. Choose a color you like and enjoy wearing it everyday of the year for years to come.
Garnet was given it's name by either the Greeks or English. The Greek word "Punica granatum" from the red seeds of the pomegranate or possibly from the Middle English word "gernet" (dark red). Garnet has several species and varieties each with their own names.
Garnet folklore through out history has had a supposed magical side to it. It has been said that it protects the wearer from negative energy or intentions. It has also been used to protect against poisons, toxins and help inflammation of the heart as well as blood circulation. Garnets have also been a valuable source in protecting friendships, preventing nightmares and to help prevent depression.
