Introduction Of Garnet

Due to its resemblance to pomegranate seed, the name garnet was derived from the Latin language "granutus" which meant seed or grain. All Garnet Jewellery, including Garnet Rings, Garnet Pendants and Garnet Earrings, were offered by the Greeks for everlasting love and affection between couples. They are currently given for those 2nd and 18th anniversary celebrations.

The garnet has been talked about since the years 3100BC and it exists in almost all colours except that of blue.

The Garnet Birthstone

Garnet is primarily the Birthstone for January, but it can also be the number one option for November. People who are linked with garnet are known to be sincere, devoted, energetic, and will be protected and guided by the gem.

The Zodiac and Garnet

The garnet gem is linked to various Zodiac signs, to which it is thought to be a friend and charm. Because it has strong links with January and the alignment of the planets at this time, it is also a direct counterpart to Aquarius and Capricorn. It serves as a lucky charm for Leo, Gemini and also that of Virgo, and is a stellar gemstone for Scorpio and Aries. It is thought to be ruled by Saturn and therefore, a friend of Mars. Hindu astrology states that because it is known as "Rahu" because it is associated with the north node of the Moon.

Garnets and Religion

Moses made a breastplate that contained twelve garnets for the High Priest Aaron after being requested to by God. Garnet represents one of the twelve tribes of Jerusalem in Israel, known as Judah. King Solomon and his forces wore this gem in battle because it offered them greater protection from harm.

Garnets and Sleeping

They are thought to help open up and explain the connections to the heart when sleeping, and help in the process of moving from the awaken to sleeping state, by providing a balancing process between the two thoughts. A person is said to be able to re-live any previous circumstances they have had in life by using the garnet. It is said to get stronger some relationships or even show love to the dreamer. Any dreams can be set to focus on, and make appropriate, any problems in ones life by applying them in a tremendously effective attitude. A person having any dreams will be protected from having nightmares, and even from malicious attack during their sleep. The positive energies from the world are said to be stored in these gems, and they will keep the negative energies away.

Garnet Spiritual Healing and Purification

They have been used for many ages in spiritual healing, and the process of maintaining a stable mind state, and keeping this for all future, is helped by the garnet. Garnet has always been well known as being able to cleanse the body and mind, but, it is also been said that it can even revitalise the body and mind, and that it can heal and develop stronger some peoples relationships. It is believed that if you need to have a fair state of mind, and to be able to maintain this through life, then garnet is the stone to help you achieve this.

Garnets and Luminescence

Noah used large garnets to light the way on the exterior of the Ark. Because of this quality, garnet is decidedly often used as a crystal that guides travellers and makes sound the ways of a journey. The shinning or glowing form of garnet has been noted repeatedly throughout history.

Garnet and Love

Its deep red colours identify it to love, but, not just simply between man and women, but also towards all the other passions that a person may have for all other mind thoughts. It is used to establish those passions are maintained entirely.

When you think about the amazing array of colours that garnet jewellery is to be found in, it assuredly is an exceptional choice, but I suggest that whichever colour is your favourite, then they will never look any better than when seen set so white gold compliments their hues. Such examples, are white gold garnet rings, white gold garnet pendants, and obviously those of white gold garnet earrings.

In earlier history, garnets were exchanged as gifts among friends to demonstrate their affection for one another, and to insure that they may at least once meet again if parted. So, what better reason to purchase any item of Garnet Jewellerycan there be, especially if it helps to either re-unite any long lost friendship, or maintain a current close relationship?
