Extra-Detailed 5 inch Garnet Skull

The sun goddess, Persephone, having found herself stuck in the underworld, struck a deal with Hades to spend part of the year there with him and part of the year on the earth. Hades gave her pomegranate seeds to ensure her return, the rich color of which gives garnet its name. (The word "garnet" comes from the Latin "granatus," meaning "seeds.")
Garnets have been used as burial jewelry and signets of royalty from as far back as the Bronze age, and they were particular favorites of the Vikings, who believed wearing them improved their fighting prowess.
Garnets are found in colors including green, orange, brown, and shades of red from light pink to the deep red that gave it its name.

With its associations with Persephone and the color red, garnet is unsurprisingly known as a stone of love, courage, and protection during travel. Garnet is truly a stone of commitment, supportive and encouraging to relationships as well as to dreams and ambitions!

Photography

Although we always strive to provide clear, accurate images of our crystals and other products, we photograph under professional lighting, which is meant to mimic sunlight. If you get your crystal and think it looks a little different under low or artificial light, try checking it out again in sunlight!

Our crystals are one-of-a-kind art, created by nature.

No two pieces are the same, and there is no such thing as "perfection" in nature.

When it comes to our hand-carved items, remember that artists work with and around imperfections, druzy pockets, and other natural variations to bring each carving out of a piece of natural stone.

We consider these imperfections to be one of the most wonderful parts of crystal collecting, and we invite you to embrace each carving's uniqueness!

We will always try to portray each piece honestly, so be sure to look closely at our images and videos to ensure you know what to expect.
