About This Garnet

Garnet isn't just one stone. It's a family of related minerals in deep red, orange, green, and even black. Almandine and pyrope are the most common and give garnet its reputation as the wine-dark red you see in jewelry.

The name comes from Latin 'granatum' for the resemblance of red garnet crystals to pomegranate seeds.

We bring these tumbled stones in from Nsipe, Malawi.

Traditionally Used For

In crystal traditions, garnet is often associated with a quiet sense of renewal, settling into who you already are, and opening to connection, with yourself and others. It's traditionally linked to the root chakra. If that resonates, hold one in your non-dominant hand for a few breaths when things feel shaky. Work with it the way that fits your own practice.

These are traditional associations drawn from historical practice. This stone is not a substitute for medical or mental health care.

Care and Use

Sensitivity Low

Garnet sits at 6.5-7.5 on the Mohs scale, about as hard as glass, so it handles daily use but will scratch against harder stones. Keep chemical cleaners away from it; they can etch the surface.

Good to Know

Questions Before You Buy

Is this real garnet, and is it heated, dyed or treated?

Natural garnet from Nsipe, Malawi. Untreated.

Will I get the exact pieces in the photos?

You'll receive pieces from the same batch photographed, weighed to the amount you choose. Every piece passes our quality control and meets or exceeds what you see in the photos. Single specimens are listed separately and say so.

What size are the pieces, and how many are in a pound?

Each piece measures 0.5 to 1 inches on its longest side and weighs 5 to 15 grams. About 48 to 80 pieces per pound at this size, and each option shows its piece count.

What does AAA grade mean?

Grades reflect visual quality within a batch. A is standard, with typical inclusions. AA shows stronger color, cleaner surfaces and tighter sizing. AAA is the top 10 to 15 percent of a batch. Every lot is inspected and graded by our team in Rockville, Maryland, not taken on the supplier’s word.

Where does it come from, and how do you know?

This batch is from Nsipe, Malawi. It came to us through a community partnership, one of the sourcing models we publish and stand behind.
