Natural garnet mala with 108 beads

Garnet is a potent yet elegant protective talisman, serving as a guardian of your well-being. Embrace Garnet during meditation by holding a Garnet stone, mala, or prayer beads. Wear Garnet as jewelry, ideally as a pendant close to your heart, to facilitate physical, emotional, and spiritual healing. Garnet helps to root one in the present, bringing common sense and a realistic outlook to spiritual insights. It encourages the joy of living in the moment while allowing one to maintain balance in their life.

Garnet helps one overcome fear by helping one face the reality of life’s hardships, yet it does not allow them to become crippled by them. Garnet helps one see that real strength is gained through adversity, and the true nature of one’s character comes forth.

Like garnets, people are born pure of heart, but over time become worn down by the pains of living in a world where there is suffering. Like stones being tumbled smooth by the actions of sand abrading them over time, so are people affected by the events of life. However, through this process of being worn down, it is possible to have one’s rough edges polished away and become a better person. Garnet allows one to let go of past grudges, resentments, or disappointments that hold one back.

Garnet also brings hope for a better future and encourages one to believe in their ability to achieve it. It represents faith in oneself and trust in one’s own abilities, which are vital if one is ever going to reach their full potential. A garnet gemstone placed in a room can help transform negative energies into positive ones.

Some people call it the fire coal. Others believe its name is taken from the pomegranate, and still more claim the element of fire lives in every stone.

Fire, however, is not the symbol of war and destruction — it is the symbol of rebirth (much like the Phoenix rises from its own ashes.) Many believe it can transmute other stones or elements, and still more believe the fire inside Garnet can break apart negative energies. In any event, Garnet is one of the most powerful stones you will ever come to know.
