The dazzling beauty of garnets is responsible
for their widespread use as gemstones, dating back to the Nile Delta
in 3100 B.C. Egyptian artisans created beautiful garnet beads,
bracelets and other jewelry.
Garnets symbolize fire, faith, courage, truth, grace, compassion,
constancy and fidelity. They are supposed to have the mystical powers
to: give energy, courage and good health, stimulate the sexual drive,
enhance the wearer's imagination and offer protection to the
traveler. Theirs is a balancing and peaceful power. They should be
worn close to the body.
And garnets are supposed to have the ability to heal blood deficiency
diseases, stimulate bloodstream and pituitary gland, relieve
rheumatism and arthritis pain. Garnets are also claimed to combat
depression and lethargy, protect against depression and impure
thoughts and cure fever and promote good health.
