Garnet History and Uses

Garnet crystal derives its name from either of two medieval Latin words. These are Granatum, “pomegranate”, referring to its colour or Granum, the name of a red dye. However, Garnet can be found in many colours ranging from dark red to orange, green to brown and pink & black. In ancient times, it was referred to as Carbunculus, a reference to glowing embers.

Similarly, Noah’s Ark was said to be lit by a Garnet lantern. Also, it has been used throughout history by emperors, knights, and warriors as a protective talisman and to heal the blood. Hindus and Buddhists consider it a holy stone of enlightenment. It was used as early as 2100 BC by the Sumerians and has been highly regarded worldwide by many ancient cultures. These include Egyptian, Greek, Roman, Native North American, Aztec, Mayan, and African tribal cultures.
