THE MEANING BEHIND THE JANUARY BIRTHSTONE
In Hinduism and Buddhism, garnet is a holy stone which gives wisdom and enlightens the soul. It is said
that the garnet releases negative energy, as many believe that the stone encourages feelings of joy,
hope, and willpower. The fiery color of the stone drives away fatigue, stimulates the imagination,
creative thinking, and piece of mind. In ancient and medieval times, garnets were also though to be
remedies for inflammatory diseases and to soothe an angry heart. Some even call it the ‘Gem of Faith’,
as it is believed that those who wear it and do good, more good will come.
