DESCRIPTION

Raw garnet from Pakistan is a captivating gemstone that possesses a rich red color. Geologically, garnet forms through a combination of high heat and pressure in metamorphic environments. It is typically found in rocks such as schist, gneiss, and granulite, where it crystallizes and grows over millions of years. The unique crystal structure of garnet allows it to withstand extreme conditions, making it a durable and long-lasting gemstone.

Historically and culturally, garnet has been treasured for its beauty and perceived mystical properties. It has a long history of use in jewelry and adornments, dating back to ancient civilizations. In ancient Egypt, garnet was associated with the sun god Ra and was believed to provide protection and ward off evil spirits. It was also popular during the Victorian era, where it was commonly used in intricate and ornate jewelry designs. Garnet was believed to symbolize love, passion, and vitality, and was often given as a gift to express deep affection.

Care Instructions

To properly care for raw garnet and prevent physical damage, it is recommended to handle it with care to avoid scratching or chipping. Avoid exposing garnet to harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could dull its luster or damage the gemstone. It is advisable to remove garnet jewelry before engaging in activities that may subject it to impact or excessive pressure. Clean garnet gently using a soft brush or cloth with lukewarm, soapy water, and rinse thoroughly. Avoid using ultrasonic or steam cleaners, as these can potentially damage the gemstone. When not being worn, store garnet separately from other jewelry pieces to prevent scratches and keep it in a soft pouch or lined box to protect it from scratches or accidental bumps. Regularly inspect the gemstone for any signs of damage or loosening in settings, and consult a professional jeweler if repairs or adjustments are needed.
