一月的誕生石 Birthstone of January:石榴石 Garnet

友誼可能被理解為顏色象徵愛、笑聲, 喜悅, 癒合和痛苦。一月的誕生石石榴石就帶有這些珍貴的真理。因為友誼會不停改變, 所以石榴石是最好的生日禮物給朋友,象徵永恆友誼和信任。
Garnet, 來自 "granatum" 一字 ,意思是種子, 因為寶石和石榴種子相似。它們在3100BC時流行過, 當時埃及人將它們鑲嵌在首飾上。在19世紀晚期, 過半數鑲有珠寶的貨物都有各式各樣的石榴石。
石榴石是一組擁有真正的彩虹七色的礦物的總稱,它們包括由深紅色的鎂鋁榴石到擁有充滿活力的綠色的 tsavorites。每一種石榴石都在構成、堅硬度和礦物學分類中有所不同。現在,這些石榴石都可以在坦桑尼亞、斯里南卡和印度中開採出來,而且被稱為『The Gemstone Of The Future』。

Friendships can be perceived as an array of colors to symbolize love, laughter, joy, healing and pain. Garnet, the birthstone of January holds these treasures true. Just as friendships are ever changing, garnet is the perfect birthday gift for a friend to signify eternal friendship and trust.
Garnet, derived from the word "granatum" means seed, because of the gem’s resemblance to a pomegranate seed. They date back to 3100 B.C., when Egyptians would inlay them in jewelry. In the late 19th century, over half of the merchandise displayed in jewelry stores consisted of various types of garnet.
Garnet is the name of a group of minerals that comes in a virtual rainbow of colors, from the deep red of the pyrope to the vibrant green of tsavorites. Each type of garnet varies in composition, hardness and mineralogical classifications. Today, these gems are mined in Tanzania, Sri Lanka and India and are said to be the gemstone of the future.
