It can also indicate hydrothermal alteration of calco-silicate related to skarns. Belongs to a complex group of silicate minerals, which crystallize as hard and dense in the isometric crystal system. Its intense red color has created demand for this rock as a gem and semiprecious stone. In ancient times, this gemstone was cut and worked as a gem of high value; for example, the Vikings used them as jewelry for funeral ornaments. Meanwhile, Crusaders decorated their armor with the stone to make themselves braver in battle, and victors adorned their swords and shields with the stone for protection. In Greek mythology, this stone plays an important role due to its mention in the episode of Persesone’s abduction to the Underworld. Likewise, in Jewish and Muslim tradition the stone is praised for its splendor. In the Roman Empire and among the pharaohs of Egypt this rock was used to adorn mummified bodies in ancient Egypt, while Romans set it in rings that they used as seals to close valuable documents. Specifically in the 18th and 19th centuries, during the Victorian era, this mineral was very popular, as it was widely used to craft jewelry garments.
