garnetn.1

/ˈɡɑːnɪt/
Forms: Middle English gernet, (Middle English plural grenaz), Middle English garnette(s), 1600s garnat, 1500s– garnet.
Etymology: < Old French *gernat, grenat (whence also Middle Dutch garnate , gernate ), < medieval Latin grānātum , according to some a transferred use of Latin grānātum pomegranate n. (compare garnet n.2), the stone having probably been so called from its resemblance in colour to the pulp of the fruit; others consider it a derivative of medieval Latin grānum , grāna grain n.1, cochineal, red dye. See also granate n.2
A vitreous mineral, most commonly found as a distinct crystal, and in the form of a rhomboidal dodecahedron, but also occurring in other shapes. The precious garnet is of a deep transparent red colour, and is used as a gem.
