Red garnet has been prized since ancient times for its beautifully rich, deep red color. As the January birthstone, it is associated with power, passion, and prosperity. Garnets were among the very first gemstones known to mankind, dating back over 5,000 years. The name "garnet" comes from the Latin word “granatum” meaning “seed,” due to the gemstones' resemblance to the bright red seeds of a pomegranate.
