GARNET

Garnets, the birthstone for January, have been known to Man for thousands of years. It is said that Noah used a garnet lantern to help him steer his ark through the dark night. Garnets are also found in jewelry from early Egyptian, Greek and Roman times.

Many an early explorer and traveler liked to carry a garnet with him, since garnet was popular as a protective stone, believed to light up the night and protect its bearer from evil and disaster. Our Garnets are from Mozambique, Africa.
