January Birthstone - Garnet
Designated as the January Birthstone, Garnet is traditionally thought of as a burgundy red coloured gemstone but there are so many different varieties of Garnet that it is actually available in almost every colour from yellow to dark brown.
It is a stone to help balance the mind and emotions by helping you discard outdated ways of thinking and giving way to a new path of abundance and vitality. Historically worn as a protective talisman or amulet that shields from negativity, it can also help us to feel better grounded and connected to the present moment.
