Garnet: What is it?
Garnet comes in a wide range of colors, including red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, pink, brown, black, and clear, with red being the most prevalent shade. It serves as the birthstone for January. The term "garnet" is derived from the 14th-century Middle English word *gernet*, which translates to "dark red." This, in turn, comes from the Latin word *granatus*, meaning "grain" or "seed."
