The psychology, symbolism and cultural history of Garnet.
In the Western world, garnet symbolizes love and passion, often associated with the heart and vitality. Contrastingly, in some Eastern cultures, garnet is seen as a protective stone, believed to ward off negative energy and promote safety during travel.
The term 'garnet' comes from the Middle English word 'gernet', meaning 'dark red'. Garnet gemstones have been used since at least 3100 BC in ancient Egypt, where they were fashioned into jewelry and amulets, signifying wealth and protection.
