Almandine Garnet

Almandine Garnet (also known incorrectly as almandite) is an iron aluminum silicate, its name derived from the town of Almandine in Asia Minor. It is often found in nature mixed with Pyrope Garnet. Almandine Garnet unites the energy and passions of scarlet and red with the more muted, earthy overtones of brown, like fire reflected in a deep sultry wine. It is intimately tied to the Earth, and is a talisman of protection and unyielding strength, both physically and intellectually.
