Garnets are a large family of minerals whose colors vary according to their chemical composition. Thus, garnets come in shades ranging from green, through yellow, orange, pink to deep red.
The varieties are numerous, but we can mention rhodolite garnets (pink red), Spessartite (orange-brown), Tsavorite (green to emerald green) and malaya (orange pink). The name garnet comes from the Latin granatium, which means pomegranate, inspired by the burgundy red color of this fruit, and from the Greek puropus, because garnet was compared to the eyes of fire.
Garnet is found all over the world, in Europe (Czech Republic), in Europe (Czech Republic), in Africa (Tanzania, Namibia...) and in Asia (Sri Lanka and India). The hardness of garnet is between 7 and 7.5, and it has been used in jewelry for thousands of years. Initially considered a tool for polishing or engraving other gems, it boomed during the fall of the Roman Empire and was used by so-called “barbarian” jewelers.
Today, it is widely used in jewelry making, and many famous creations incorporate garnets. For example, this hair comb is not ordinary at all! It dates from the Victorian era. Each of the pyropic garnets is cut pink, a popular size at the time. Coming from the mines of Bohemia, now located in the Czech Republic, this magnificent piece is entirely covered with them.
