Some examples of common gems that fall under the garnet category include tsavorite (a green garnet), demantoid (a variety of a green garnet but very rare), spessartine, or spessarite (an orange garnet), and rhodolite (purple-red garnet). According to the Gemologist Institute of America, there are more than 20&nbsp;garnet categories, called species, but only five are commercially important as gems. These five are pyrope, almandine (also called almandite), spessartine, grossular (grossularite), and andradite. A sixth, uvarovite, is a green garnet that usually occurs as crystals too small to cut. It\u2019s sometimes set as clusters in jewelry. Most garnets are chemical mixtures of two or more garnet species.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_93043\" style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-93043\" class=\"wp-image-93043 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/simplered_org_l.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/simplered_org_l.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/simplered_org_l-350x350.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/simplered_org_l-120x120.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/simplered_org_l-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/simplered_org_l-216x216.jpg 216w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-93043\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/jewelry\/earrings\/drop-earrings\/garnet-diamond-gold-drop-earrings\/id-j_911162\/\">Garnet, diamond and gold drop earrings.

While we will never know if garnets can be used to prevent plagues or heal warriors, as has been suggested, we do know that both the Egyptians and the Romans felt that it was a worthy stone to set in gold for their nobility. In more \u201crecent\u201d times, garnets were ubiquitous in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/jewelry\/style\/victorian\/\">Victorian jewelry<\/a>. The \u201cG\u201d in REGARD rings, the equivalent of the modern-day engagement ring, implied garnet. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Garnets were also highly valued in the region of Bohemia. The Smithsonian Museum of Natural History has in its collection an antique hairpin with Bohemian pyrope garnets from the Czech Republic. Bohemian pyrope got its name from Bohuslav Balb\u00edn, sometimes referred to as the \u201cCzech Pliny,\u201d in 1679. Abundant in the region, it was used often in jewelry during this time. In fact, it became so popular that in 1762, Empress Marie Terezie forbid its export. Stonecutting workshops opened in several regions across Bohemia, and pyrope became the country\u2019s mineralogical symbol. While there was never a decline in its popularity, it was only in the mid-20th century that garnets enjoyed a revival. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As we have already learned, garnets can come in many&nbsp;of shapes and sizes, one of the largest ever discovered is a 68.82-carat Tsavorite garnet. This stone is also in the collection of the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An abrasive stone, garnets can also be used for industrial purposes. Ground up into powder and mixed with water, it can be&nbsp;strong enough to cut steel. Another utilitarian tool&nbsp;is garnet paper, which is popular among&nbsp;carpenters for&nbsp;sanding natural wood.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_93023\" style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-93023\" class=\"wp-image-93023 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/1412493_l-1.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/1412493_l-1.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/1412493_l-1-350x350.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/1412493_l-1-120x120.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/1412493_l-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/1412493_l-1-216x216.jpg 216w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-93023\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/jewelry\/objets-dart-vertu\/more-objets-dart-vertu\/naomi-sarna-almandine-garnet-carving\/id-j_1412493\/\">Naomi Sarna Almandine garnet carving.
