Why You Should Wear Garnet If It’s Your Birthstone

 What are birthstones? Birthstones are related to one’s birthday or gemstone. A birthstone or gemstone is something personal to a person. It represents their birth; each birthstone shows the qualities that symbolize the month. Birthstones were discovered by a Jewish historian Josephus. He found a connection with 12 gemstones that represented each of the Gregorian calendar months relating to the Zodiac signs. Popular poetic sayings came with each description of the stone. Which has the clear suggestion of wearing the Garnet Stone to the people who are born in January as it can give you the manifestation of material things and good luck.

The January birthstone is the Garnet Gem. The garnet arrives in many colors: browns, red, pink, blue, purple, orange, yellow, green, black, and even colorless. The rarest garnet is the blue garnet and only been found in Madagascar, but since then has been found in the United States, Kenya, Russia, and Turkey. The blue garnet is breath-taking as it changes colors in the sunlight to different shades of blues to greens to purples.

When talking about the Garnet Gemstone as a birthstone, it's always been the red garnet (Rhodolite Garnet). The word garnet means "seed" resembling a pomegranate seed, because of its deep red tones. The red garnet now comes from the great resources of Africa, Sri Lanka, and India. It is considered the best Mystic Gemstone because it has excellent healing properties. 

 

The garnet is a semi-precious stone that holds many qualities of strength, endurance, prosperity, and health. If a person is born on this month he/she most likely holds these qualities. Also, the gemstone itself is hard, not easily broken (like a diamond), durable, but still holds a tremendous amount of beauty in all its splendid colors.
