While many think of Garnets as a red stone, it is actually an entire family of gems that range in color from yellow to green to red. There are more than 10 different gemstones with a similar chemical structure in the garnet family, however, only six of them are commonly found as gemstones. Grossular Garnets, named for the crystal’s resemblance to gooseberries, range in color from green to yellow and in transparency from clear to semi-opaque. Tsavorite is a named, green variety of Grossular Garnet.

Garnets have been found in jewelry made by ancient Egyptians, Greeks and Romans. The red garnet was once known as the warrior's stone and soldiers carried garnets to ward off death and injury. It has been found in shields, buckles and other items worn by ancient soldiers including the Crusaders.

Some attribute healing, strength and protection to the garnet. Wearing Grossular Garnet is believed to enhance relaxation and provide an easy-going nature. It also inspires service and cooperation. Garnets have also been exchanged as gifts between friends to demonstrate their affection for each other and to ensure that they would meet again.
