January's birthstone is traditionally the Garnet . The origins of the word Garnet are believed to be related to the pomegranate fruit filled with dark seeds. According to the Bible, Noah hung the Garnet from his ark to help guide him through the darkness of the flood.

Garnets should be worn
they will ensure her constancy
true friendship and fidelity.
A summerish January
a winterish spring
a January spring
is worth nae thing.
If you see grass in January
Lock your grain in your granary.
