Garnets have a wonderful history of being a much-desired and sought-after gemstone.  Garnets were once carried by travelers to keep them safe when they were far from home.  Garnets were used in Asia and in the American Southwest as bullets, as it was believed that the deep, rich red color would cause more deadly wounds.  Noah used a garnet lantern to steer the Ark at night.

Today, Garnets are much more than the red stone that most of us are familiar with from antique jewelry.  Indeed, the Garnet is found in almost every hue but blue!  Here are the Garnets found in this Collection:

Green Garnets:

Green Garnets, or Grossularite (Grossular Garnets), range from yellow to green to brown.  Most of the Green Garnets in this collection fall in this range--the olive greens to dark, bright greens.  Some Green Garnets are also knows as Tsavorite, and these Garnets are an emerald-green.  This Garnet is found only as small accents in this collection.
