Garnet
Garnet are a group of silicate minerals that have been used since the Bronze Age as gemstones and abrasives. It's a 6.5-7.5 retailer on the Mohs hardness scale.

The name is thought to derive from the pomegranate since the red variety of garnet resembles the seeds of the fruit.

Garnet is found all over the world. There are different species and they come in a variety of colours - tsavorite (green), spessartine (orange), and pyrope (red) to name a few.

It was used in Egypt more than 5000 years ago, in Sumeria around 2100 BC and also in Europe during the middle ages to enhance truth, faith and constancy and to dispel melancholy.

It represents primordial fire, the creation of the world out of chaos, purification and love.
