Garnet with Swarovski necklace

Garnet is the birthstone for January and the stone that celebrates the 2nd anniversary of marriage. The name “garnet” comes from the Latin word “Garanatus,” meaning “seed like,” in reference to a pomegranate.  It is a stone of prosperity and abundance, encouraging gratitude and service to others. Associated with the Base, Sacral, Solar Plexus and Heart Chakras, Grossularite Garnet is a deeply spiritual stone. Wear garnet to give your whole system a boost, revitalize your body, and promote your emotional well-being by increasing your confidence. The stone is also said to bring protection from evil and bad karma.  Because it's such an energizing stone, garnet is often used for manifestation purposes and worn as a talisman for good luck. In addition to bringing vitality, high energy, and protection, garnet also helps build self-confidence and clarify one's life purpose.
