Garnet is derived from the Latin word "granum" meaning "grain". This refers to the typically rounded shape of Garnet and it’s resemblance to the seeds of a pomegranate. Garnets have been widely known for thousands of years. Even Noah, it is reported, used a lantern fashioned from garnet in order to safely steer his Ark through the darkness of the night.
