The native Americans discovered them a long time ago. Today native Americans and rockhounds collect the garnet gems mineral and sell them to gems dealers which later make cabochons or facet out of the stones. Then they are mounted into jewellery. Their unusual origin also plays a role in the desire for the gem dealers and to those who wear the Jewelry in which these gems are mounted in. The Anthill garnets found are usually tiny and cab/facet mostly 1ct or under gems, because the ants are smart enough to ignore and excavate around large stones rather than bringing them up the surface. it is fair cause that the larger stones would always appear almost black because of the very high colour but enough light goes through the tiny ones to reveal the deep desirable red colour.
