| Many types of Garnet exist, together with a
range of colours. Types of Garnet include Almandine, Andradite, Grossularie,
Rhodolite, Uvarovite, and Spessartite. The 'stone of health' transmutes negative energy from the chakras to produce a beneficial state. Garnet has been used by Native American Indians, South American Indians, Mayans, Aztecs, and African tribal elders, enhancing the inner fire and bringing creative powers to bear in implementation. Commitment is strengthened by Garnet, both to a purpose, to self, and to others. Devotion is the love-related manifestation of this stone, combined with the warmth of understanding. In healing, heart, lungs, blood, cellular structure, bone, and spine can all be treated using Garnet, which is also helpful in addressing conditions requiring regeneration, or producing sexual equilibrium. Another of the stones on the breast-plate of high-priests of old. |
