Garnets
Beads of Garnet turn up in prehistoric graves and red cabochons (carbuncles) have been appearing in jewelry for the last 500 years. The Almandine Garnet is the most popular variety. Others include Pyrope, Spessartine, and Uvarovite. Slices of garnet have been used in windows in churches and temples, and legend has it that Noah suspended garnet in the ark in order to disperse light. Garnet was once said to cure meloncholy and to warm the heart.
