If I had to choose one thing that means the most to me it would have to be my garnet cross pendant. I was passed down to me from my great grandmother who I never met. On my sixteenth birthday my grandmother presented me with the cross and said it had been our family for many, many years.
The cross is encased in gold with six stones forming the cross. I hangs on a very thin chain which is why I don’t wear it. The stones are the most vivid garnet color I have ever seen. They are a deep-red gemstone that you often find in antique jewelry. The gemstone Garnet is the official birthstone for January They garnet may also be given on the second or sixth wedding anniversary.
I just found out from my mother that garnets come in a variety of colors. Garnets come in every color except blue and most varieties are named for their color. Rhodolite is a purplish red, hessonite is the name for an orange, cinnamon, or pink variety. Tsavorite is the name given to dark green
Garnets don’t have a smell, taste or sound. They are smooth to the touch.
Garnet's powers include healing, strength, and protection and it is often worn to relieve inflammations of the skin. It is also believed to regulate the heart and blood flow and aid in curing depression.
