Find all our natural garnet stones cut in different shapes in our workshops. In cabochons, in set pendants, faceted or raw rounds, in rosary chains and in beads of different sizes and shapes.

You can wear this stone in many ways to maintain the benefits throughout the day.

Garnet is a very elegant stone, gold will reinforce its warm and intense side. You can associate it with stones in pink hues to soften it (Pink Quartz, Rhodochrosite, Pink Opal...) or with orange-red hues (Carnelian, Jasper...) to give it a bloody, flamboyant appearance.

With blue-violet hues (Lapis Lazuli, Amethyst) we will accentuate the depth and the mystical side.

Application in Lithotherapy

On a physical level, garnet is very good for heart disorders and to compensate for wine deficiencies (cold feet or hands, heavy legs).It gives courage and strength to face illnesses that we have given up on.

On an emotional level, it is recommended for calm and composed people, to give them energy, courage and perseverance. On the other hand, garnet is strongly discouraged for angry, jealous and hypertensive people.

Garnet is linked to the Solar Plexus Chakra and the Root Chakra.

It is a stone of commitment that helps us refocus on a project by removing ideas that could take us away from it.

It will be recommended for manual professions, repetitive or restrictive work. It will be ideal for people who need courage.

Purification

To purify your natural Garnet stones and thus eliminate all the accumulated energy, there are several methods.

The simplest way to mount your jewelry is to place your creations on a pile of Quartz. Fill a container with Quartz fragments on which you will place your jewelry. This way, they will recharge with positive energy.

You can also place them in the hot sun. Garnet needs a lot of light and heat to recharge, so don't hesitate to expose them in the summer when the sun's rays are most intense.

Then with distilled water, however this method is not recommended with mounted jewelry, it could alter the plating.

Perform purification as often as possible to get the most out of the benefits of your stones!
