The name “garnet” is derived from the Latin word “granatus,” meaning “grain” or “seed,” which refers to the gemstone’s resemblance to pomegranate seeds. Throughout history, garnets have been associated with various symbolic meanings and beliefs. They are often associated with love, passion, and commitment. Garnets are also believed to bring protection, strength, and success.
