GARNET
Garnet is the official Birthstone for those born in January and carries the energy of passion, creativity, and joy. It exudes vitality, power, and nourishment of sensual energy because it evokes the spirit of the fire element.
Rose Quartz is too a January Birthstone, so much a modern alternative to garnet. Very light to rich translucent pink colour and is part of the quartz family. Rose quartz name and origins are linked to gentleness and universal unconditional love.
Birthstones are shrouded in myth and legend – they're traditionally believed to bring good luck and therapeutic powers. It was thought that wearing the gemstone during its associated month helped to enhance its abilities, the idea being that you should own all 12 and wear each one depending on the time of year.
Garnet is also a 2nd Anniversary gemstone, making a wonderful gift.
