Garnet

Garnets /ˈɡɑːrnət/ are a group of silicate minerals that have been used since the Bronze Age as gemstones and abrasives.

All species of garnets possess similar physical properties and crystal forms, but differ in chemical composition. The different species are pyrope, almandine, spessartine, grossular (varieties of which are hessonite or cinnamon-stone and tsavorite), uvarovite and andradite. The garnets make up two solid solution series: pyrope-almandine-spessartine and uvarovite-grossular-andradite.

Etymology

The word garnet comes from the 14thcentury Middle English word gernet, meaning 'dark red'. It is derived from the Latin granatus, from granum ('grain, seed'). This is possibly a reference to mela granatum or even pomum granatum ('pomegranate',Punica granatum), a plant whose fruits contain abundant and vivid red seed covers (arils), which are similar in shape, size, and color to some garnet crystals.

    You Drove Your Car Into A Moving Train

    by: Grandaddy

    On the telephone all morning
    it's been a while since I talked to you
    your voice's transferred sweet
    I wish forever I could talk to you
    of course I blame that guy Tom
    I'm sure he talked you into doing it
    although I'm sorry he's dead
    when you go to him I kill him again...
    and again...and again...
    keep trying that tapes and records
    I thought you loved them over anything
    this conversation's hard for me and stupid
    but we had to do it
    you drove your car into a moving train
    you held each other headed for the end
    and they say it went blank
    now here you are with just a few days left
    keep trying that tapes and records
    I thought you loved them over anything
    this conversation's hard for me and stupid
    but we had to do it
