Pyrope is a member of the garnet family, and its name comes from a Greek word meaning fire-like, a nod to its glowing colour. Jewellers prize clear specimens for rings, pendants and brooches. The stone is rarely named outside jewellery and mineral collecting, where it is told apart from other garnets by its depth of red.
