The Garnet we think of is usually, Almandine Garnet which is formed from the complex mineral Almandine (Fe3Al2Si3O12) and is found in a fairly narrow range of colors, generally from deep red to reddish-brown, occasionally with a violet or brown hue. However, garnet comes in a wide variety of forms and colors and mineral combinations much like quartz stones. Garnet is affectionately known as the "stone of commitment and health". It enhances one's resolve and creativity. It helps by toughening one's mind to negative thoughts and increasing one's ability to focus internally. Garnet promotes warmth, wisdom and understanding. It is also thought to be very beneficial to newborns by providing a protective influence and a calming effect. Garnet has an affinity for Leo, Virgo, Capricorn and Aquarius and vibrates to the number two. Click on the following link to see an example of Jewelry with Garnet.
