Garnet is a silica mineral of deep red color. It derives its name from the Latin word “grantum” which means “pomegranate”. In Persia it was considered to be a royal gemstone. It symbolizes the transformation of passion into strength. It enhances sexuality, protects against phobias and insecurities and drives away negativity. Most members of the garnet group are indeed found in red hues, but garnet stones can also come in all colors (except blue), while uvarovite consistently comes in an emerald-green color.
