Meaning & origin
Garnets can come in virtually any color, but the most well-known are red. Before the development of modern gemology, many people treated all transparent red gemstones as the same type of stone. Therefore, you'll find many similarities between the folklore of garnets and rubies.
Garnets with gorgeous, deep shades of red are said to energize wearers, which could help them deal with health issues.
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.
Wear your garnet anywhere, but near the heart is said to be optimal.
Meanings are cultural tradition, not scientifically proven.
Why this color
Most garnets owe their colour to iron and manganese — the classic deep red comes from iron.
