Green Garnet Jewelry

Garnet is generally burgundy in color, but rarely, it occurs as a very beautiful, rich and heavy semi-translucent green, called Uvarovite, Tsavorite or sometimes Grossular Garnet. The Tsavorite variety is the most rare and precious of the Garnet Family, a Chromium/Vanadium bearing Green Garnet that can rival an emerald. Uvarovite tends to be a rich olive in color. Garnets, relative to most semi-precious gemstones, have a heavy, substantial feel.

Mystical Properties: Most often referred to as a gemstone of money and prosperity, Green Garnet is said to draw wealth to the wearer.

Sometimes mentioned as a gemstone to facilitate communication with magical creatures such as fairies, leprechauns other little people

Considered a gemstone of the Heart Chakra by Natural Healers. Wearing Green Garnet Jewelry is thought to gently heal a broken heart. Considered a powerful healing gemstone, Green Garnet is thought to remove toxins and negativity, especially related to past hurts.

Sometimes mentioned as a gemstone of Aquarius.

Healing Properties: Green Garnet is considered an excellent healing gemstone, only needing cleansing once a month or so. Considered especially helpful for heart ailments.

Scientific Properties: Composed of Calcium Chromium Silicate, the stone gets it green coloration from Chromium and/or Vanadium. Garnet may occur as crusts, crystals or massive deposits. Garnet is generally identified in the field by its characteristic cubic hexoctahedral or dodecahedral crystals.

The precious Tsavorite Garnet is very, very rare over 1 carat, though a few gems have been discovered above 5 carats. Tsavorite Garnet is a rich green, as in an emerald, but has a higher refractive index (brighter) and is generally not as plagued with inclusions as Emeralds.

Garnet is really a family of stones: Pyrope ( generally the blood red variety), Almandine (Orangey-red to Brown), Andradite (Brown, Black and sometimes Yellowish-green to Yellowish orange), Grossular (Clear, Orange, Pink, Yellow, Green, Brown), Spessartine (Yellowish Orange), and Uvarovites (Olive Green), Tsavorites (Deep Emerald Green to Yellowish Green), Rhodolite (Purplish red to red), Hessonite (Yellow orange to red).
