Garnet jewelry is made from the birthstone for January and the astral stone for Aquarius. The garnet is a much underrated gem. Most garnets are not artificially enhanced in any way, making the garnet very unusual in that way. The shades of red that define the various types of garnet are caused by the amount of iron, chromium and manganese present in the crystal.
The almandine, colored a deep red to almost black by the presence of iron, is the most common member of the red-garnet family.
The Pyrope is the cherry red garnet getting its color from chromium. The ancients believed that its bloodlike color would protect the wearer from injuries and blood loss, and warriors often carried it into battle.
Rhodolite can be raspberry to pink or purple. Mandarin garnets, a variety of spessartine, are orange to red-orange. Grossular garnets are green to yellow green. The Tsavorite, a beautiful emerald green, comes from Kenya.
These selected stores all have beautiful garnet gemstone jewelry.
