Garnet, a versatile gemstone admired for its rich hues ranging from deep red to vibrant orange, purple, and green, is a symbol of vitality, strength, and passion. Its name derives from the Latin word "granatus," meaning seed-like, due to its resemblance to pomegranate seeds.
Composed of a group of silicate minerals, garnet's most common variety is Almandine, featuring iron aluminum silicate (Fe₃Al₂(SiO₄)₃). Known for its durability and brilliance, garnet is widely used in jewelry. It is also believed to boost energy, inspire creativity, and promote emotional balance, making it a powerful gemstone for both adornment and spiritual practice.
