It is said that Noah would get light at night with the help of a garnet that would glow in a lantern. It is thought to cure depression, protect against bad dreams, and relieve diseases of the liver and bleeding. The ancient Greeks thought the stone could protect children from drowning. It was also thought as protection against poisons.ROUNDSTYLE #: RG-[SIZE CODE]-RDF-[QUALITY]SIZE CODE MM SIZE AA0200 2.00mm $3.900250 2.50mm $4.500275 2.75mm $5.250300 3.00mm $6.600350 3.50mm $6.900400 4.00mm $10.500500 5.00mm $30.120600 6.00mm $47.550700 7.00mm $96.000800 8.00mm $186.60AASTYLE #: RG-[SIZE CODE]-PSF-[QUALITY]SIZE CODE MM SIZE AA0403 4x3mm $8.400503 5x3mm $9.000604 6x4mm $15.000705 7x5mm $26.400805 8x5mm $45.300906 9x6mm $66.301007 10x7mm $149.101208 12x8mm $348.48PEARAAPRINCESSSTYLE #: RG-[SIZE CODE]-SQP-[QUALITY]SIZE CODE MM SIZE AA0200 2.00mm $4.050250 2.50mm $6.300300 3.00mm $7.650400 4.00mm $19.50AASTYLE #: RG-[SIZE CODE]-OVF-[QUALITY]SIZE CODE MM SIZE AA0503 5x3mm $10.950604 6x4mm $17.100705 7x5mm $35.250806 8x6mm $76.500907 9x7mm $127.051008 10x8mm $224.55OVALAA
