“The use of red garnets in ancient craft industries, primarily as beads, is attested in Egypt from the Predynastic period through the New Kingdom (i.e., 4th–2nd millennium BC), and in some Western Asiatic and Near Eastern cultures of the 2nd–1st millennium BC. Their early use was sporadic at best, but trade in gems from distant sources, including garnets, proliferated in the Hellenistic era under the successors of Alexander the Great” [Lisbet Thoresen, Greek, Etruscan, Roman garnets]
