Sagittarius & Leo Gemstone

With its shimmering brilliance and raspberry freshness, Garnet can cheer the bleakest winter day. It immediately lifts the spirits, creating lively, exuberant excitement in all who wear it.
Tales of Garnet date back to the time of Noah, who is said to have steered the Ark by a lantern made of this dazzling gem. Garnet jewels were also favored in ancient Rome and Egypt, where they were held to ward off evil.
Garnet is rated “good” for everyday wear. Avoid exposure to heat, contact with chemicals, and protect form scratches and harsh blows. To clean, gently scrub with a soft toothbrush and a solution of mild dish soap and warm water, or clean in an at-home ultrasonic cleaner.
