New York - GARNET


The Barton Mine in the Adirondack Mountains is the world's largest garnet mine, mining mostly industrial abrasive grade garnet, but gemstone quality garnet is occasionally found.

Throughout history the Garnet has been a symbol of love and compassion.  It has been used to represent purity and truth in relationships, personal and in business.

Also throughout history Garnets have been used to light the way for sea travelers.  Because of its guiding quality, the garnet was the stone of choice to keep travelers safe on their journeys.

The Garnet has been thought to encourage success in business.  Putting Garnets on your desk is believed to turn-around a declining business.

The Garnet can support ingenuity, encourage charitable giving and enhance creativity.

This beautiful cranberry colored gem can cure ailments of the thyroid, kidneys and spleen, and reduce depression.  It has been known to aid in the healing of blood related disorders & diseases.

The addition of a Garnet to my necklace will foster my creativity, elevate my energy level and keep my blood pressure low.

The wine red garnet was designated the official state gem of New York in 1969.
