While red Rhodolite Garnets are certainly the most popular, Garnets actually come in nearly every colour of the rainbow. They are very unique in the gem world as they exist as an entire group of minerals, instead of just a particular species, which means they have a very complex range of chemical compositions, colours and other characteristics. They also belong to the cubic crystal group, along with Diamond and Spinel, which makes them singly refractive and capable of extremely eye-catching fire and sparkle. The birthstone for January, Garnets are a historical gem with many complexities and beautiful attributes to explore!
