The hand flatterer in the shape of a lens made of garnet (Almandine) is about 30 x 45mm. The raw material for the Small Palmstones comes from India.
Garnet and its effect is already described in Hildegard von Bingen as a stone under the name "carbuncle": "The carbuncle grows during the lunar eclipse and is still warm. [..]
Hence it has its glow from the fire of the sun at the rising of the moon, and vin hence it comes that it glows more in the night than in the day. Thus it grows until the glow of the sun gives birth to it." (Source: Michael Gienger / The healing stones of Hildegard von Bingen)
Also in the modern stone medicine the garnet (Almandine) is estimated; the mineral makes energetic and activates the own forces. Use the effect of the mineral, for example, in a massage application, as a hand charms or to put on!
