Garnets are one of the most well known of the semi precious gemstones, what is less well known about garnets is that they come in most any colour: a virtual rainbow of colors, including pink, red, purple, orange, yellow, violet, green, colorless, occasionally black, brown and many more shades of red and green.

The most common colour is reddish brown.

Bohemian Garnet is deep red gemstone, Russian Demantoid and African Tsavorite are vibrant green.

Garnets were so called by the ancient Greeks since the colour reminded them of the pomegranate seed or granatum.

Garnets are found in a wide variety of locations including Kenya, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Brazil, India, Madagascar, Canada and USA. In  the USA garnet alone it’s been found in Arizona, Colorado, Georgia, Idaho, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Utah, Florida, California and Virginia.

The majority of today’s Garnet supplies come from Africa. Notable quantities of garnets have been also found in Czech Republic and Spain. The oranges and browns of Spessartite and Hessonite hail from Namibia and Sri Lanka.
