Garnet

Garnet is the name of a group of minerals. ‘Garnet’ is derived from the Latin word ‘granatum’, which refers to pomegranates, since the mineral resembles the seeds of this fruit. There is an interesting Greek love story - Hades, the God of the Underworld, once gave pomegranate seeds -  ‘garantus’ - to Persephone, the Goddess of Sunshine, before she could return to Earth, indicating a connection between lovers who had separated.

This diverse mineral group contributes to the stone's variety of textures and generates its wide range of colored varieties. These stones have been on Earth for several thousands of years, so they’ve certainly stood the test of time.
