Actually, rubies and sapphires are the hardest stones, second only to diamond (rubies and sapphires are both made of corundum). Garnet would be softer in comparison. I would suggest that you take this to a jeweler first and see what the stones are. They might even be made of paste glass, common for this region.

Sounds like quite a corundum.
