Because of its hardness, garnet was used for fire-making as early as the Stone Age. Garnets were used as a gemstone in the ancient empires of Mesopotamia and Egypt.

The Migration Period and the early Middle Ages led to the first heyday of garnet processing. Garnet flakes, often only 1 mm thick, were inlaid with gold using the cell technique. This eastern tradition was adopted by the Huns, Avars, Gepids, and Visigoths and Ostrogoths into the Germanic kingdoms. Garnet was a primary ornamental stone for the Lombards, Franks, and Merovingians.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Garnet heyday<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p class=\"p1\">By establishing a stone-grinding center in Prague, Rudolf II initiated a new golden age of garnet mining. The best stone cutters of his time (from Freiburg and the Miseroni family from Milan) worked at his court. A new center for garnet processing emerged in Turnau, Bohemia. There was an abundant deposit of intensely red but very small garnets. At that time, up to 10,000 people were employed.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Decline of industry<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>New deposits in South Africa, where garnets were produced as a byproduct of diamond placer mining (Cape rubies), and a change in jewelry fashion led to the decline of this industry. The large centers of the garnet cutting industry in Turnow (Turnau) and Gablonz later gave rise to the glass jewelry industry (strass jewelry).[\/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=&#8221;Come to the Garnet Museum!&#8221; style=&#8221;custom&#8221; custom_background=&#8221;#a71c20&#8243; custom_text=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; size=&#8221;lg&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; i_icon_fontawesome=&#8221;fa fa-angle-double-right&#8221; button_block=&#8221;true&#8221; add_icon=&#8221;true&#8221; link=&#8221;url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.granatium.at%2Fen%2F%3Fpage_id%3D5418|title:Come%20to%20the%20Garnet%20Museum%21|&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">THE COLORFUL WORLD OF GARNET<\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;5425&#8243; img_size=&#8221;large&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"145\">Garnet isn&#8217;t just fiery red\u2014it comes in many colors!
