Linked to the Root Chakra, garnet is an excellent stone for meditation. Drawing its strength from Nature and the Earth, it helps to gain perspective and overcome difficult situations.

A grounding stone, it gives strength, courage, and self-confidence. Life force, energy, courage—these are associated with the power of will.

The garnet, with its beautiful reddish-brown color, was widely used in ancient Rome, Greece, and Egypt because it was less rare than the ruby.
