Garnet has been used since the Bronze Age as a gemstone and abrasive. A powerful neodymium magnet separates garnet from all other transparent natural gemstones commonly used in the jewelry trade. However, different types of garnets that differ in chemical composition can also differ in their magnetic susceptibility. Take for example Spessartine Garnet which is the most magnetic while Tsavorite Garnet is one of the least magnetic. Garnet has the potential to last thousands of years with proper care. This mineral group has a hardness range on the Mohs scale of about 6.0 to 7.5.

Many believe that garnets provide security to those who wear them. It is worn to protect and balance those who wear it by helping them feel grounded. In addition to protection, this stunning gemstone is said to bring love, luck, health, loyalty, and friendship to those who wear it.

The Egyptians even called it the symbol of life. The garnet gemstone was very popular with the Romans in the third and fourth centuries. This gemstone was used as a protective talisman by both warriors going into battle and those who wanted to ward off plague and pestilence. It is said to help ward off nightmares, negative energies, and promote deep, restful sleep.
