About

Garnet is a gemstone with an ancient history. The first recorded garnet mine was found in Sri Lanka, and is thought to date back 2,500 years. Garnets have also been found in Bronze Age tombs, hinting at the resilient qualities of this deep red-colored stone. They represent January’s birthstone, and are typically given as 2nd or 15th anniversary gifts.

Garnets have many mythical qualities. A biblical story tells that Noah used a garnet to illuminate the path of his Ark through the night. Ancient travelers often wore a garnet for the same reason. We now know, due to scientific discoveries, that garnets have a high refractive index, making them a particularly luminous stone.

A garnet will light your path with its warm red glow.
