❤️ What Is Garnet
Garnet is a natural group of silicate minerals formed over millions of years in the Earth’s crust.
Its name originates from the Latin word granatum, meaning “pomegranate seed,”
reflecting the gem’s rich, glowing red tones.
Garnet appears in nearly every color of the spectrum, including red, rose, orange, green, yellow, and rare blue varieties.
However, red garnet is the most iconic — a symbol of vitality, passion, and enduring love.
Major origins include:
India
Mozambique
Tanzania
Madagascar
Sri Lanka
United States
“Garnet is the ember of Earth — a flame of energy, devotion, and renewal.”
