January Birthstone

by Angel

The birthstone for January from the Modern List of Birthstones is the Garnet. It symbolizes love, passion, eternal friendship, purity, and truth.

Garnet - Birthstone For January

The name garnet comes from the resemblance of the gemstone to the seeds of a pomegranate. The most common color is a deep red. However, this stone comes in a variety of colors that are not quite as popular at the deep red color. The color depends on where it is mined and the selective absorption of particular wavelengths of light. The garnet is a very hard stone with a 6.5-7.5 on the Mohs Scale of hardness. It is mined in Sri Lanka, South America, Australia, India, Russia, Africa, and parts of the United States.

Aren't they great? It was hard to find the right pieces for this article. I am always trying to find the best selections of items to display. That usually takes more time than actually writing the article. This is my husband's birthstone too. Great stone.. Thanks so much for reading and commenting.

kinworm - they are all so pretty aren't they. I too like the tumbled stones. My friend really believes in the powers of gemstones and is starting to make me believe in them as well. She does carry different stones around in her purse depending on the month and how she feels. I think I may try it. Thanks for reading and commenting.

This is my birthstone - gemstones are very pretty. I like the idea of carrying the tumbled stones because I don't wear much jewelry. The garnet and diamond bracelet is gorgeous.

I know. My husband's birthday is in January and tempted to buy him some of these loose stones since they are supposed to have healing powers. Thanks for reading and commenting!
