The Garnet
The term “garnet” comes from the Latin “malum granatum”, grain fruit, which designated the pomegranate. Indeed, the grains of this gleaming color flee strongly recall these gems.
A garnet jewelry industry has existed since Roussillon in the Middle Ages, using local minerals. It boomed in the 19th century, then declined in the 20th century, but still exists today.
