About garnet (hq)
Garnet is a group of silicate minerals, and deep red stones are usually almandine or pyrope. The name comes from the Latin for pomegranate, after the red seeds. Garnet is the birthstone for January.
Crystal tradition links garnet with passion, energy and loyalty. It is said to be a grounding and protective stone, and was once carried by travellers as a charm for a safe journey.
How people use it
Carry in a pocket for a warm, grounding stone, or keep by the bed. A meaningful gift for a January birthday and a rich red accent in any collection or grid.
Care
Fairly hard but can chip if knocked. Clean with warm water and a soft cloth. Store apart from softer stones.
Crystal meanings describe tradition and belief, not medical advice.
