Garnet is a name given to the group of silicate minerals with a common chemical composition. The name derives from granatus, a Latin word meaning‘seed'. According to the difference in components, there are 14 types of garnet, such as almandine, pyrope, and grossularite.
Known as the burning coal (karubulks) since ancient times, garnet stones have been used to protect people and applied as effective therapeutic medicine. Said to be the oldest of all gemstones, garnet stones have been used as jewelry items and were used to decorate the windows and other items in temples and churches in ancient Egypt, Rome, and Greece. It is said that the holder of a garnet stone will be promised unchanging love and whose chastity and fidelity will be protected. In the legend of Noah's Ark, a garnet lantern was used to light the dark.
