This stone is associated with a pomegranate seed in many people, but in fact its shades can be very different: from bright scarlet to black and even blue. So which gem is called garnet? The stone is suitable for someone according to the horoscope, and who is strictly not recommended to wear it? Let's try to figure it out.
Crystal Description
Not one mineral is called pomegranate, there are about twenty of them. The crystals are similar in structure. General formula: R 2 +3 R 3 +2 [SiO 4 ] 3 , where R 2 are metals divalent (calcium and iron, magnesium and manganese), and R 3 - trivalent (iron, aluminum, chromium). A variety of colors and shades is due precisely to the combination of metal ions in the composition.
Pomegranates are mined on almost all continents except the Arctic and Antarctica. And popularity over the years with the gem is only growing. And not only originality and beauty play a role here.
Colors and shades
The classic representation of the word "pomegranate" is scarlet, like a drop of blood. But it happens and emerald green, and grassy, and olive. By the way, it was green garnet that inspired Bunin to write the famous story “Garnet Bracelet”. And in jewelry stores you can find stones of orange and yellow shades, all tones of brown, purple and even blue (the rarest and therefore incredibly expensive). Jewelers value minerals with the effect of alexandrite when it changes color depending on the type of lighting.
The magical properties of pomegranate stone, which are attributed to it , are largely dependent on color.
Red Crystal Magic
The gem of red color has a very strong influence. It is believed that the heat emanating from him helped the blind Homer to "see" his famous "Odyssey." This is the meaning of pomegranate stone in the life of an ordinary person - it has become famous.
Having learned this legend, one involuntarily begins to believe that the red crystal is capable of giving success to its owner and will help achieve its goals. But there is one amendment - garnets help only good and honest people, for those who are lying, unclean and envious, the gem will begin to harm, revealing evil thoughts. It will begin to fade and lose its luster in the hands of evil people. So when choosing a garnet stone with a talisman, to whom it is suitable (and to whom it is undesirable), it should be considered first of all.
In the Middle Ages, it was customary to give amulets with pomegranate to beloved men, because they protected from wounds and gave fearlessness, and made the journey easy for travelers.
At the same time, the pomegranate given to women promised loyalty and eternal love, but only if it was mutual. If a woman did not love the man from whom she received the gift, the stone sent jealousy. But buying a stone for yourself has always been considered a bad omen.
In India, pomegranate is considered a “stone of love," it helps strengthen family union, and if there is no family yet, it helps to find mutual love.
