Garnet, a January birthstone, comes from the Latin word that means pomegranate (medieval Latin “granatum”, or “having many seeds”). The various types of garnet include almandite garnet (which derives its name from the Latin word “alabandina” in reference to the town of Alabanda in Asia Minor where garnets were found in ancient times), demantoid garnet (a highly sought after stone which derives its name from the German word for diamond, “demant”, which references the stone’s high dispersion and luster),rhodolite (which takes its name from the Greek words “rhodo” and “lithos”, meaning rose-colored stone), and tsavorite (the green garnet discovered in 1967, which was named for the area in which it was found, Tsavo National Park in Kenya, East Africa). Garnet has been called the “stone of commitment”, as its powers reflect devotion and may encourage expressions of warmth and understanding.  Garnet is also valued for its ability to end chaotic feelings and bring stability and calm to the wearer,  balancing their mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual systems.
