The garnet is a wonderfully versatile gemstone appearing as a popular favorite in many jewelry designs.
The word ‘garnet’ gets its meaning from the Latin meaning “seed”. This is due to the stone’s similar color to the pomegranate fruit’s seed.
Like the pomegranate, the garnet will regenerate and revitalize you. It will make your pulse quicken and encourage you to look at your life in a new and positive way.
If you are feeling low or your spirit has been depleted by everyday life, the garnet will bring order to a chaotic situation.
Sometimes the chaos can be external; at other times, internal. It might be of our doing or someone else’s. Either way, the garnet will give your system a boost that will send out ripples positively affecting you, your life and others around you.
As well, the garnet provides protection from evil and helps release bad karma.
It is especially useful if someone is suffering from nightmares or is recovering from injury, in as much as it heals wounds.
If you are traveling, consider wearing a garnet for protection.
Being a root chakra stone, the garnet can help bring your dreams and hopes into reality.
It will help bring prosperity and abundance to your life and will ensure the manifestation of your desires.
The garnet is also associated with the heart chakra and will add balance and purity to one’s being.
It will remove negative energy and help re-align the chakras to create positive power.
