Garnet

Garnet is a remarkably versatile and captivating gemstone, celebrated for its diverse range of colors and excellent durability. While most commonly known for its deep red hues, garnet actually comes in almost every color of the rainbow, including vibrant oranges (Spessartine), lush greens (Demantoid and Tsavorite), and even purplish reds (Rhodolite).

Beyond its stunning palette, garnet is prized for its good hardness (6.5-7.5 on the Mohs scale), making it a durable choice for everyday wear in various jewelry pieces. It often boasts excellent clarity and a beautiful vitreous luster, allowing light to dance through its facets. Garnet is also celebrated for its affordability compared to many other precious gems, offering significant brilliance and beauty without the high cost. As January's birthstone, it symbolizes passion, friendship, and protection.
