Garnet, Grossular

Grossular Garnet (Grossularite) is a green variety of Garnet that originated in Siberia, named after the botanical word for gooseberry, “grossularia”, as the gem resembled this fruit. It may also be red, reddish-brown, orange, honey yellow, colorless or white. Tsavorite is also a Grossular Garnet, but it is the gemmy-green variety only found in Tsavo, Africa.

A stone of balance, Grossular Garnet helps keep emotions in check, while at the same time bringing in the voice of reason. It is a good crystal to help get back the fun in relationships that are often plagued by worrisome issues, such as finances, etc.

Grossular Garnet Physical Healing Energy

Grossular Garnet is an important aid in recovery from illness or trauma, and assists the body in cellular regeneration. It is thought to fortify the liver and kidneys, regulate fat metabolism, and detoxify and alleviate inflammations throughout the skin and mucous membranes. It helps with rheumatism and arthritis, and prevents arteriosclerosis.

Grossular Garnet is said to be good for the immune and respiratory system, and protects against highly infectious diseases. It stimulates the blood, and is a good stone to carry on a plane to prevent deep vein thrombosis. Grossular Garnet is particularly beneficial in assimilation of Vitamin A. [Melody, 303]

Hessonite heals the olfactory system, and draws off negative influences that cause ill health. It also regulates hormone production, reducing infertility and impotence.

Grossular Garnet Emotional Healing Energy

Grossular Garnet is an excellent crystal to soothe and reduce emotional extremes, especially if all your previous relationships have been a drama. Tsavorite, in its renewing shades of green, releases old emotional trauma or feelings of inadequacy, and encourages socialization and new trust. Warm, orange Hessonite helps those who have spent too much of their lives alone to cope with mainstream life. [Eason, 86,140, 272]

Grossular Garnet aids amendment and fosters community spirit. It supports imagination and creativity in social situations [Gienger, 42], and inspires the ideal of service through cooperative effort. [Melody, 303]
