The famous Greek philosopher, Aristotle, said the following lines about garnet – “The garnet is a red gem, but not like the ruby, its red is much more like that of a flame. If correctly cut and polished, it will reveal all its beauty and perfection.” If what he said was coming from his authentic self, then we can assume, that Aristotle loved garnet.

And, the Greek philosophers were not the only ones who were enchanted by the Beauty Of Garnet Gemstones. Ancient Chinese, Egyptians, and Romans were in love with garnet as well. If you have a deep interest in mythology and religion, you will find that many myths used garnet as a symbol – from representing the blood of Jesus Christ to illuminating Noah’s ark.
