Garnet is the collective name of a group of precious stones of different colors but united by a similar crystal structure and chemical composition.

The different types of garnet have certain names based on their color: pyrope for red; almandine for brown and opaque stones; and grossularite and melanite for the brown stones, which are almost black. 

The name of the garnet has a long and complex history. Some think it comes from the Sanskrit "gar," meaning "to transport" or from the Greek "Geron," which means "old."
