Description
Garnet has been valued as a sacred stone by many ancient cultures
for thousands of years. They are named for the Latin “granum” meaning
“grain,” referring to their round shape that resembles a pomegranate
seed. It is fabled that Noah used a lantern of garnet to steer his Ark
through the night. Garnet is prized as a stone for successful business,
and it is thought that a garnet under one’s pillow can cure depression.
Wearing garnet is said to bring popularity, self-esteem and protection.
Garnet is also well known as a stone of passion, love, commitment,
emotional depth and sexuality. With its vibrant colour, it is thought to
revitalize, regenerate and balance energy as well as offer courage and
hope. Garnet is said to activate other crystals and amplify their effects.
