@caitlinrgreen told my sister to understand that chart so she can have better results there :)
@caitlinrgreen There must have been a huge international trade in garnets ; odd that 1 stone got so popular rather than eg rock crystal
@manx_maid @caitlinrgreen Where did the garnets themselves comw from?
@HipBookfairy @manx_maid Analysis indicates primarily India, later shifting to Bohemia in later periods :)
@HipBookfairy @manx_maid eg garnets in this brooch found in the Netherlands are from the Rajasthan region of India:https://twitter.com/caitlinrgreen/status/592601849078898688 …
@caitlinrgreen @manx_maid @fredvries The movement of little wee things all around the world from early times is fascinating.
@caitlinrgreen Always a huge use of garnets which are such a wonderful stone, nicer than rubies.
