Birthstone: January GARNET

We're going to start of the year with a bit of re-educating on Birthstones. We all have one, and according to some traditions, our birthstones represent specific traits that we each posses according to where our birthday falls in the calendar year.
Now I know we all wish that we were born under the month that corresponds with diamonds (hey there April babies) but for now, we'll start with Garnets.
