Garnet (January Birthstone)

Garnet enhances vitality, endurance, strength, and security through its deep vibrational connections to the earth. It is an ideal stone to work with when feeling ungrounded, lacking motivation, or experiencing low energy.
Garnet is the stone of tangible truth, and aids in manifesting realistic versions of dreams on the physical plane.
Working with the Root Chakra, Almandine Garnet keeps us deeply rooted, and therefore psychically protected, as it is difficult for negative energies to attach to us when we are authentically grounded, and rooted.
Garnet can help discover joy and release panic, worry, fear, and anxiety. It is associated with the passion of Aries, the charisma of Leo, the idealism of Aquarius, and the grounded pragmatism of Virgo.
