Origin 1
A carbuncle is an archaic name given to any red cabochon cut gemstone. The name is applied particularly to the red garnet.

Origin 2
Carbuncle Garnet may also be based off of a UMA (Unindentified Mysterious Animal), or a cryptid. In cryptozoology and sometimes in cryptobotany, a cryptid is a creature or plant whose existence has been suggested but is not yet recognized by scientific consensus. Famous examples include the Yeti in the Himalayas, the Loch Ness Monster in Scotland, and Sasquatch in North America.
