★★★★★★

The name pyrope comes from the Greek word "pyropos" which means "burning eye".
Fine pyrope garnets can be difficult to distinguish from darker rubies.
Pyrope garnet was the "fashionable gemstone" during the 18th and 19th centuries, and many of the gems believed to be rubies during this period were later discovered to be in fact pyrope garnets.
