Garnet Stone

The Garnet, known as Tamra Mani in Sanskrit, is a stunning gemstone admired for its deep red to fiery orange hues and its symbolism of passion, energy, and commitment. Belonging to a diverse mineral group, garnets are found in a variety of colors, but the rich crimson-red variety is the most popular and historically revered.
In ancient traditions and Vedic astrology, Garnet is associated with the planet Rahu or, in some cases, the Sun—believed to boost self-confidence, motivation, and creative energy.

About Garnet

Garnet is a durable, high-energy gemstone known for its captivating range of red shades—from deep wine red to vivid crimson—and its association with vitality and protection. While most people know Garnet as red, it can also appear in orange, green, and even rare color-changing varieties, depending on its mineral type.

Garnet’s brilliance and luster make it a favorite in fine jewelry, while its metaphysical properties make it a valued astrological stone. In Vedic astrology, red Garnet is recommended for enhancing self-confidence, overcoming fear, and revitalizing one’s personal and professional life.

The most desirable garnets display a pure, evenly saturated red without brownish or overly dark tones. Stones with excellent transparency and minimal inclusions are rare and command higher value.

Origin of Garnet – Where Does It Come From?

Garnets are mined worldwide, with certain locations producing premium-quality stones:

  • India – Rajasthan produces beautiful deep red almandine garnets, highly valued in astrology.
  • Sri Lanka (Ceylon) – Known for bright red to orange-red varieties with excellent clarity.
  • Africa (Namibia, Tanzania, Mozambique) – Produces vivid red and rare color-change garnets.
  • Russia – Historically famous for deep red pyrope garnets.
  • USA (Arizona, Idaho) – Known for fine-quality spessartite and almandine garnets.

At ShivRaj Ratna, we focus on Indian and African-origin red garnets for their superior color vibrancy, durability, and astrological potency.
