When thinking of Garnet, most people think of red gemstones. Garnet most commonly occurs in red, and the origin of the name ‘Garnet’ lies in this deep red hue. The name ‘Garnet’ comes from the Medieval Latin word, ‘granatum’, which is an adjective meaning ‘dark-red’. It is thought that this adjective could have been extracted from the word ‘pomegranate’, due to the colour of the seed coats or shape of the seeds. However, the word could also have come from another Medieval Latin word; ‘granum’, referring to red dye. The use of red Garnet dates back thousands of years, when it was used by Egyptian pharaohs for both decorative and ceremonial purposes.
