Do you know where the gemstone garnet got its name? (1 Viewer)

[athenaaa]

Some people have believed that the garnet's name was derived from a word meaning "blood" because of its deep red colour, but instead, the garnet is named from the pomegranate. This is because of the blood-red seeds that are found on the inside of the fruit. The pomegranate is believed to represent one's own life, dying, and rebirth.
