Garnets were the quintessential engagement ring stone long before diamonds, representing commitment and strength within a relationship. It balances the flow of energetic movement between your lower chakras, allowing strength, grounding, and understanding to manifest within. Those born in January have an incredibly strong connection with garnet as it is the birthstone for that month. There are many, many types of garnets but the most famous/common one is almandine, one of the red forms. The name garnet comes from the Latin word “pomum granatum” meaning pomegranate.
