~ Viking warriors and sailors believed that garnets improved the wearer's fighting prowess. Craftsmen used the deep red stone extensively as inlays in sword pommels and on armor details. In 2009, an extensive cache of Anglo-Saxon gold, the Staffordshire Hoard, was found to contain dozens of items paved with expertly polished and fitted garnet inlays. Although gem-quality garnet is native neither to the Vikings' original Scandinavian home nor to England, the Vikings used the stone extensively.~~
