January Garnet

Happy January everyone! It is Garnet month!

Garnet is a special and powerful gemstone, I personally love garnets as it is my birthstone ( I am a Capricorn baby 🙂 )

The wide variety of garnet colors makes this gemstone a great choice for jewelry.

Here are some of the kind and colors you can find garnet in:

Almandine garnet: red

Hessonite garnet: dark red - brownish

Rhodolite garnet: purple violet

Grossularite garnet: orange yellow

Malaya garnet: pink brown

Spessartite garnet: bright green - dark green

Demantoid garnet: light green 

Demantoid garnet is the rarest and the most expensive out of the genet family due to their brilliance, dispersion and their "diamond-like" appearance.

Garnets attributes

Garnet inspires love and devotion. It balances sex drive and alleviates emotional disharmony. It is also a useful crystal to have in a crysis. It is particularly helpful in situations where there seems to be no way out or where life has fragmented.

Square cut garnets are said to bring success in business matters.

Generally red garnets represent love. Attuned to the heart energy, it revitalizes feelings and enhances sexuality. They also control anger, especially toward the self.
