RED GARNET

Metaphysical Properties- Red Garnet opens the root chakra while drawing earth energy into the body. Stimulates life-force, boosts sexuality and fertility.  It works to move energy though the light body and circulatory system. Garnet also deals with issues of survival and abandonment.  Use Red Garnet to understand the cause of these issues and then begin to heal them.  It is thought of as a stone of purification, elimination and cleansing.  Physically Red Garnet is used to treat disorders of the blood, heart, and lungs.  I like to use Bloodstone and Garnet together in a healing session for Bloodstone works to strengthen the physical body so that the Garnet can do its work of moving energy throughout the entire system.  I lay these stones on the areas of the body (chakras) which I feel are best to increase energy.

Numerology- Red Garnet vibrates to the number 2.  The number 2 is about partnerships, cooperation and gentleness.

Gemological Properties- We will speak of two red varieties of Garnet, these are referred to as Almandine and Pyrope.   The dark red Almandine variety is usually seen as ‘Star garnet’and is composed of Fe3Al2(SiO4)3.  The Pyrope variety is very common and the chemical composition is Mg3Al2(Si04)3.  Garnet belongs to the Cubic crystal system and is red to deep red in color.  The hardness is 7-7 ½.  It is found in many countries including the United States, India, Sri Lanka, Madagascar, Africa, and others.

Note: The color Red symbolizes energy, strength, physical existence, and vitality.  It is associated with the material side of life (abundance) and survival issues.  It is used to stimulate the life-force, increase circulation and to energize the nervous system. Red increases your connection with the Earth, it gives strength and will to live in the physical world. It speaks of fertility and sexual issues. Red is the color of the 'root' or first chakra.


HESSONITE GARNET

Metaphysical Properties- Hessonite Garnet is what I refer to as a 'stone of creativity'.  Used on the third chakra, Hessonite will stimulate creativity on all levels.  Some like to use this stone to encourage self-respect, respect of others, and spiritual growth.
Hessonite also allows us to say good-bye to outworn or unusable ideas, view, agreements, and behavioral patterns which we have out grown.  On the Physical level, Hessonite is used to regulate hormone production, stimulates metabolism, fortifies the immune system, and encourages absorption of nutrients.

Numerology- Hessonite vibrates to the number 6.  It is about home and family.  Creating a loving environment.

Gemological Properties- Hessonite Garnet is from the Grossularite mineral species belonging to the Garnet group.  The crystal system is cubic and offers a chemical composition of Ca3AL2(SiO4)3.  It us usually seen in transparent to semi-transparent crystals with a light to dark yellow to reddish orange color. The hardness is a 7, refractive index is 1.74, specific gravity is 3.61.  Hessonite is found in Sri Lanka, Kenya, Tanzania, Brazil and Canada.


GLENDONITE

Metaphysical Properties- Not much is written on the properties of Glendonite.  My thoughts are that this stone will help one to discover their lives purpose.  On a physical level, Glendonoite is helpful to heal broken bones, abrasions, strengthening of the teeth and bones, and regenerates cell tissue.

Numerology- Glendonite vibrates to the number 6.  It is about home and family.  Creating a loving environment.

Gemological Properties- Glendonite is a calcite pseudomorph after ikatite.  It is from Olenitsa village, Kola Peninsula, Russia.
