What does GARNET mean in Scrabble?
noun
A deep red semiprecious stone, or the silicate mineral from which such stones are cut.
Garnet is the name given to a family of silicate minerals that share the same crystal structure but vary in the metals they contain, which is why garnets can appear in shades other than red, including green and orange. The classic deep red variety has been prized as a gemstone since antiquity and set into rings, brooches, and beads. Because of its rich color, garnet also gives its name to a dark red-brown shade used outside jewelry, for instance in describing fabric or paint.
How GARNET is used
Names both the gemstone and, less often, the deep red-brown color associated with it.
