Garnet derives its name from the Latin word for pomegranate, granatum, due to its resemblance to pomegranate seeds. Ancient Greeks and Romans associated it with fire, and Christians believed it to be used by Noah to illuminate the Ark. It is considered the gem of faith, constancy and truth; its wearer is said to be sociable and a good communicator. |
