The historical origin and Symbolism of Garnet are as iridescent as the stone itself. Starting from the beginning, this red gemstone is believed to derive its name from a Latin word, “granatus” which stands for “promenade”, meaning a “seed-like” or “grain” due to the stone’s red appearance. However, a few legends argue on Garnet's origin and link it with a French word, “Grenet” that symbolizes a dark red crystal, later referred to as “garnet” in English. Today, you can see a wide variety of Garnets coming from all over the world.
