January Birthstone: Quick Guide to Garnet

Home / Birthstone / January Birthstone: Quick Guide to Garnet
January birthstone Garnet ring
January 22, 2020 Birthstone Josephs Jewelry

The most popular birthstone for January is Garnet. Garnet is also the stone that celebrates the 2nd anniversary of marriage. The name “garnet” comes from the Latin word “Garanatus,” meaning “seedlike,” in reference to pomegranate seeds. This connection makes sense because small garnets resemble the red seeds you find inside a pomegranate.

What is the January Birthstone Garnet?

Hardness, Color, Price

Garnet is quite durable, with a MOHs hardness scale rating of 7 to 7.5, making it a good option for everyday wear. Garnet is best known as having a deep red wine color, but is also commonly found in an orange-y brown color. A flawless, clear green garnet is one of the most beautiful, and expensive gems in existence. Garnet is one of the few untreated gems, and is available in many colors which offers great versatility.

The Power of Garnet

Throughout time, there have been numerous ancient traditions and legends about Garnets. In medieval times, Garnets were thought to cure depression, protect against bad dreams, and relieve diseases of the liver. Also, according to other legends, Noah used a finely cut, glowing garnet to illuminate the ark during those dark wet days and nights.

There are many beliefs in the power Garnet. Not just physical and mental health, but also sharpens your perception of yourself and other people. Garnets also aids in letting go of useless or old ideas. Other virtues include passion, fidelity, true friendship, success, self-esteem, energy, faith, consistency, loyalty, devotion, and truth.
