Garnet Tumbled Stone - 10-20 mm

Garnet Tumbled Stones show a deep, rich red with a smooth, glossy polish, the colour darkening to near-burgundy in the thicker pieces and glowing translucent red where light catches an edge. These are small stones, easy to gather in a dish or carry loose, with a satisfying weight for their size. The red is warm and saturated rather than bright.

Garnet is traditionally associated with vitality, endurance and grounded strength, and is often chosen by people who want steady energy and follow-through for demanding efforts. It is commonly carried, kept in a workspace, or held while focusing on a commitment. The deep colour also makes it an attractive stone gathered together for display.

Each Garnet stone varies in depth of red and translucency, so no two are exactly the same.

Geological Information
Garnet is not a single mineral but a group of related silicate minerals that share the same cubic crystal structure, with a Mohs hardness of 6.5 to 7.5. Deep red is the most common colour, though garnet also occurs in green, orange, yellow, brown, black and rarely blue, the colour varying by variety and chemistry across pyrope, almandine, spessartine, grossular, andradite and uvarovite. The name likely derives from the Latin granatus, meaning grain or seed, for the resemblance of red garnet crystals to pomegranate seeds. It is one of the oldest continuously used gemstones, appearing in Egyptian jewellery dating to around 3100 BCE and worked extensively in Anglo-Saxon and Viking pieces. This material is sourced from India, with further deposits in South Africa, Russia, Brazil, the USA, Sri Lanka and Tanzania.
