The Challenge Factory discussion

I found some information about garnets, which is January's birthstone.



This gem is available in a rainbow of colors, from the deep red Bohemian Garnet to the vibrant greens of the Russian Demantoid and African Tsavorite. We also see it appearing in the oranges and browns of Spessartite and Hessonite from Namibia and Sri Lanka and the subtle pinks and purples of Rhododendron.

Legend says garnets light up the night and protect their owners from nightmares. Garnets have long been carried by travelers to protect against accidents far from home. Garnet is the birthstone for January but with its stunning variety of colors and its mystical powers it has been given as a gift for all occasions for centuries.

Below is a list of words I've pulled from the two paragraphs.
Read as many or a few as you want.

I didn't either. Some information I didn't include was that garnets are VERY refractive, which is why they have the reputation for light.

Have a great birthday this month.

The Challenge Factory
♫ Foreman Lanelle - About Garnets
Duration: 1/1/2016 - 1/31/2016

Progress: 11 out of 1+

This gem is available in a rainbow of colors, from the deep red Bohemian Garnet to the vibrant greens of the Russian Demantoid and African Tsavorite. We also see it appearing in the oranges and browns of Spessartite and Hessonite from Namibia and Sri Lanka and the subtle pinks and purples of Rhododendron.

Legend says garnets light up the night and protect their owners from nightmares. Garnets have long been carried by travelers to protect against accidents far from home. Garnet is the birthstone for January but with its stunning variety of colors and its mystical powers it has been given as a gift for all occasions for centuries.

Below is a list of words I've pulled from the two paragraphs.
Read as many or a few as you want.
