GEOLOGICAL
The Garnet group contains different species that all share similar physical properties and forms, but are different chemically. The members include Pyrope, Almandine, Spessartine, Grossular, Uvarovite and Andradite.
Andradite Garnet is one of the most sought-after species in the Garnet group, and gem-quality crystals are rare. Andradites have a very high lustre, with a higher dispersion (sparkle) than diamonds! Not always visible in dark colours, but light colours show a dazzling fire.
You can find Andradites in many colours, including red, orange, yellow, brown, black and even green. Very rarely, Andradites can display a strong rainbow iridescence, sometimes called ‘Rainbow Garnet’.

Garnet
Garnet is a powerful energizing stone. It can purify, revitalize and balance energy, bringing in serenity or passion as needed. Also bringing balance to the sex drive. Garnet is a protective stone that has been believed to warn its wearer of coming danger since Medieval times. It can inspire love and devotion, thus earning its name ‘the Stone of Commitment’.
Useful in a crisis, Garnet helps to activate and strengthen your survival instincts. Additionally, it smooths the path for mutual assistance in times of trouble.
