Garnet! New York State's official gemstone and the birthstone for January. This stone, known for its beautiful burgundy color, has been cherished for thousands of years. But did you know that the largest (non-gemstone grade) garnet mine in the world is right here in New York state, and did you know that garnet comes in nearly all colors of the rainbow?
As avid gemstone lovers, we strive for our collection of jewelry to includes the liveliest examples of fine and rare gemstones. Garnet is certainly a dazzling category ranging from red, green, purple, honey, and orange. These colors are all how garnets occur naturally meaning they are rarely treated with heat or oils to enhance their color.
Natural beauties!
Because garnets do come in a wide variety of color, they can be difficult to distinguish between other gemstone varieties without a high powered microscope and gemologist. But a fun fact, garnets are one of the only gemstones that are attracted to neodymium magnets (a very high powered magnet) which is an easy way to separate them out from the other natural gemstones.
