As luck would have it, Idaho also claims the Star Garnet is its
state gemstone. More
precious than either star rubies or star sapphires, the Idaho garnet is usually plum in color, with
four rays in the star.
Feel free to go back to my New
York, Pennsylvania and Connecticut posts to see
the advantages of keeping the Garnet in your gem arsenal.
I
add the Star Garnet to my necklace to feel safe and to keep
me protected.
The
Star
Garnet was designated the official state stone of Idaho in 1967.
