In gemological terms, garnet is the denomination for a group of more than ten different gemstones with a similar chemical structure. 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. Besides the wide palette of colors, the realm of garnets also possesses rarities such as asterism or atones which change their color from daylight to artificial light. 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 the Middle Ages garnet was also called ‘karfunkel’ in German, meaning 'the glowing red of the sparks of fire’. 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. Garnets have been widely known for thousands of years. It is written that Noah used a lantern from garnet to safely steer his Ark through the darkness of the night. Garnets are found in jewelry from ancient Egyptian, Greek and Roman eras and travelers wore garnets for protection as they were considered as talismans and protective stones. Garnets continue to be appealing due to their natural and not manipulated beauty, their wide variety of colors, and their magnificent brilliance.
