Garnets, known for their fire and brilliance, acquire their name from the Latin word “granatus” meaning “grain like” probably in relation to the similarity in appearance to a pomegranate. It is the recognized birthstone of January and also the birthstone for the second year of marriage.
The Garnet family is chemically as complex as its varieties suggest. The term Garnet does not stand for a single mineral but a group of similar minerals namely, Pyrope, Almandine, Spessartite, Andradite, Grossularite, Hydrogrossular and Uvarovite; also referred to as the species of Garnets.
