January
Traditional Gem(s): Garnet, Rose Quartz
Modern Gem(s): Garnet
The garnet was once thought to be connected with the blood. This stone is supposed to protect the wearer from nightmares and offer guidance through the dark.
In addition to its place as January's birthstone, garnet is a recommended gift for couples celebrating their second wedding anniversary. According to Arab tradition, garnet was also the zodiacal gem for Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
January's birthstone is famous for being as red as a ruby, but this colorful gem actually comes in every color but blue. Discover this elusive chameleon.
Garnet, January's birthstone, is one of the most exciting gems on the market. This hard, durable and often very brilliant gem offers great versatility because of its variety. Believed to represent faith, loyalty, truth and devotion, garnet is known as the stone of commitment. Most people think of garnet as a single type of gem that is dark red in color. Actually, garnet is a gem family that spans a range of red, green, yellow, orange, purple and brown shades.
