GARNET
Garnet is the January birthstone. Our Garnet were mined in India.
The Garnet crystal meaning is rooted in ancient history and comes from the Latin word ‘granatum’, which means pomegranate, a reference to its intense red colour that resembles the glistening, deep red seeds of the fruit. The Garnet crystal was also cherished by early medieval jewellers who incorporated the stone into everything from rings and brooches to buckles and necklaces. Even then, it was more than just a fashion statement but was thought of as a protective talisman against negative energy. Possessing a special beauty all their own, the Garnet crystal stone meaning is linked with the heart chakra, making this deep red gemstone a dark and intense contrast to your other love-attracting stones like Jade and Rose Quartz.
