I have spent the
last few days meditating with my new garnet and I’m looking forward to spending
a little more time exploring any sensations and thoughts that may appear in the
next few days.
The Almandine garnet
is a beautiful deep red (very seasonal) colour.
I’ve tried to take a photo on white to give you an idea of the depth of
this beautiful crystal. I therefore
relate this crystal to my base chakra and feelings of sensuality, sexuality,
compassion and self-confidence.
Garnets are a
related group of minerals. Members of this group include: almandine (red to
violet red); spessartite (yellow, rose, or orange to reddish-brown); pyrope
(deep red); grossular (white, yellow, yellow-green, brownish-red, orange or
black); andradite (colorless, yellow-green, or brown to black).
It is said
Noah used a garnet lantern during the Ark's journey through the rainy gloom.
Eastern Europeans used the stones to ward off vampires and the Crusaders wore
them as protective amulets. During the Victorian era, garnets were given as
gifts to symbolize lasting friendship.
Garnet is
also used to help stimulate success in business and Hibiscus Moon believes it
helps with SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder).
Around this
Winter Solistice/Christmas period, what crystals will you work with? Have you asked for any crystals for
Christmas?
Thank you
so much for reading my blog and supporting Heather Holistics in the past
year. I would like to take this
opportunity to wish you all a very blessed Solstice and Christmas and a healthy
and happy 2013.
