Garnet is a bright red, fiery crystal of passion and is thought to be one of the oldest crystals used for spiritual protection throughout history. Its name comes from the Latin granatum meaning pomegranate, due to how the crystal represents the seeds of this delicious fruit.
However, Garnet is also called by other names, most commonly carbuncles meaning “fire coals” because the crystal always seems to be smoldering. This provides a glimpse into its spiritual meaning.
