Before It Was You Birthstone…
posted by StoneFoxy 3:07 PM 10/10/2008
Most people associate garnets with jewelry like garnet necklaces, bracelets and earrings. But before becoming your birthstone these rocks must become minerals. Garnets are formed when higher-grade metamorphic processes occur. These gems are often present in stones like schist and gneiss.
While most garnets are formed by the standard metamorphic process, others are formed when certain rocks are rolled between two moving surfaces. The rolling surfaces can pick up and preserve the lower-grade metamorphic rocks that would normally be decimated by higher processes. Because of their hardness and variety in color garnets are one of the most popular gems used in jewelry making.
