Baby it’s cold outside but if you were born in January then it’s hot, hot, hot. The reason? The fiery red January birthstone of garnet.
Garnet comes in myriad colors - from red to yellow, orange, green, brown, purple, pink, gray and black - but the rich red garnet is the standard bearer for January’s birthstone. An interesting aspect of this gemstone is that is isn’t one specific mineral, but instead several types of related minerals which all possess similar characteristics.
