The thick Lenses of red garnet (Almandine) look almost like small faceted spheres with a thickness of about 3mm and a diameter of 4mm.
The intense color is additionally emphasized by the facets of the strand.
Almandine is used in stone healing when willpower is to be strengthened. Thus, one's own views and ideas can be asserted even against resistance. A good stone for difficult negotiations! Already Hildegard von Bingen dealt with the effect of garnet under the then common name carbuncle (Carbunkel).
