It\u2019s not a single species but instead consists of several species and varieties.<\/p>\n<p>The name garnet derives from the Latin word for grain due to the similarity between their rounded crystals and a pomegranate\u2019s seeds. Garnet is the official birthstone for January and signifies protection, friendship, trust, commitment and love.
