Birthstone.

Garnet
 
 
January Birthstone.
 



 Signifies eternal friendship and trust .
 Garnet, derived from the word granatum, means seed, and is called so because of the gemstone's resemblance to a pomegranate seed.
 
It is believed to be one of the 12 gemstones in Aaron's breastplate in the Hebrew tradition. The Christians consider it is symbolic of Christ's sacrifice and the blood of their savior. Many faiths claim that Noah hung a large red garnet in the ark for illumination.
 
Many courageous discoverers and travellers wore Garnets for protection, as they were considered popular talismans and protective stones, because it was believed in those days that Garnets illuminate the night and prevent their wearer from any sort of evil.
