Gránátok is a term with multiple meanings, primarily referring to grenades and garnets in Hungarian. In the context of warfare, a gránát is a type of explosive weapon designed to be thrown or launched. These devices typically contain a bursting charge and a fragmentation casing. They can be employed for various purposes, including anti-personnel, anti-tank, or illumination roles. Historically, gránátok have been a significant component of infantry arsenals, evolving from simple hand-thrown projectiles to more sophisticated launched ordnance. Beyond its military application, gránát also refers to the gemstone garnet. Garnets are a group of silicate minerals that form a complex series of solid solutions. They are commonly found in metamorphic rocks and are known for their wide range of colors, with red being the most well-known. Gem-quality garnets are used in jewelry and for industrial abrasives due to their hardness and durability. The term gránát, when referring to the gemstone, is often used in both everyday language and within the gemological community.
