Although the color red is the one, which occurs most frequently, there are also garnets showing different shades of green, pale to bright yellow fiery orange and fine earth- and –umbra nuances.

Another characteristic of garnets is their high refraction of light, which explains their amazing brilliance. The name garnet, derived from the Latin word ‘granum’ meaning ‘grain’, refers to the rounded shape of the garnet crystal resembling the seeds of the pomegranate.

In modern times, garnets are known under many names the most important of which is the fiery red pyrope, with fierce and often slightly bronze shade of red and very popular in the 18th and 19th centuries.
