Garnet
Garnet stone in Lithotherapy
Garnet belongs to the family of minerals of the group of crystallizing nesosilicates. There are many varieties of garnets, colors and sizes, the most well-known of which is the Red Garnet. The name "garnet" comes from the Latin "malum granatum" which means grain fruit. It could then be associated with pomegranate, whose grains have a similar bright color.
Widely used in jewellery for its aesthetic qualities, Garnet stone is also intriguing for its lithotherapy properties. It can be used to enhance pendants as well as rings and bracelets.
Garnet and its flamboyant red colour have fascinated mankind for centuries. This stone is said to help you regain self-confidence and bring many benefits to the body and mind.
