Garnet is the birthstone for January. This gemstone occurs in several colors, though deep red remains the most common and recognized variety in birthstone jewelry.
Garnet rates 6.5-7.5 on the Mohs hardness scale, making it suitable for rings, earrings, and pendants worn daily. It resists scratching better than softer stones like opal or pearl.
Major garnet deposits exist in India, Brazil, Madagascar, Sri Lanka, and parts of Africa. The stone forms in metamorphic and igneous rocks under high temperature and pressure conditions.
