This stone looks like it's sourced straight from the heart of a meteor: it features deep red garnet hues included within a dusky, pulverulent black mica. Together, they represent the duality of our thoughts: will you focus on Garnet's passionate and prosperous energies? Or the imposing black hardness of the matrix? Whenever you find limiting beliefs enter your mind, envision the fine dust that is released when you hold the Garnet in Matrix as the negative energetic detritus you're releasing.
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.
All Garnet in Mica Matrix Crystals are natural products from the Earth; because of this, each individual stone will be unique and vary slightly in color, size, and shape.
