Meet Garnet

Garnet got its name from the Latin Granatum for pomegranate as its deep red hue resembles the seeds of the pomegranate fruit. Long used as a protective talisman, warriors wore Garnet during ancient battles to guard against injuries and death. Travellers wear them for safe travels. Garnet also has the ability to attract good luck in business opportunities.   

Known as: The stone of Faith, Health
