This stone features the darkest red garnet hues that’s mottled with inky black mica: together, they represent the darkness of our own minds. It invigorates your mental energy the way a headstand causes blood to rush to your head. None of us wants to cop to our worst qualities, but the hard truth is that we all have faults. Instead of blaming everything that goes wrong in your life on others or on the Universe, get out of the box of your own making and force yourself to acknowledge the part you played in getting yourself stuck in the first place. When you take ownership, you’re able to come up with ideas about how to take positive action.
The Garnet meaning is rooted in ancient history and comes from the Latin word ‘granatum’, which means pomegranate: a reference to its intense red color that resembles the glistening, deep red seeds of the fruit. The Garnet crystal was also cherished by early medieval jewelers who incorporated the stone into everything from rings and brooches to buckles and necklaces. Even then, it was more than just a fashion statement but was thought of as a protective talisman against negative energy. Possessing a special beauty all their own, the Garnet stone meaning is linked with the heart chakra, making this deep red gemstone a dark and intense contrast to your other love-attracting stones like Jade and Rose Quartz.
We recommend this stone to all of those who find themselves stuck and retreading the same ground over and over. It will have the energy that you need in order to create forward momentum and clarity of vision. Let the Garnet aspect of this stone hype you up so you can take decisive action, and allow the black mica aspect of Biotite to help you become sturdy but not stubborn; flexible and malleable but not a pushover.
