Garnet

Garnet is a gemstone.
==History==
s were the most commonly used gemstones in the Late Antique Roman world. Pure crystals of garnet are still used as gemstones today. The gemstone varies in color, from shades of green to red, yellow, or orange. The garnet family is one of the most complex in the gem world, as it is composed of multiple species and varieties.
The word garnet comes from the 14th-century Middle English word gernet, meaning "dark red." It is borrowed from granum ("grain, seed"), possibly in reference to pomegranates.
