Interesting Facts About Garnets....
Garnet is a naturally occurring gemstone. Its' name comes from the Latin 'granatus' meaning seed because it often resembles small round seeds when found in its' matrix rock. During the 13th century garnet stones were worn in order to drive away insects and evil spirits. They were also worn to ward off the evil eye given out by other people.
In Egyptian times, garnet gems were taken into the tombs with the dead as compensation to the gods of the nether world and for their means of access through it safely. It is also believed that King Solomon wore a large red garnet along with eleven other magical gems (representing the 12 steps of Jacob's Ladder) in his breast plate to help him triumph in battle.
Garnets have a hardness of between 6.5 to 7.5 on the Mohs Scale and the more robust examples are used for abrasive purposes.
