Garnets

The name Garnet appears to originate with the Latin
granatum malum which means pomegranate. Pomegranate
is the name of the bush which produces a red fruit
with seeds. Jewelry made with garnet has been found
as early as the Bronze Age (3000 BC) in burial
sites. It is thought that early communities valued
garnet and believed that it offered protections in
the afterlife.
