Black Garnet

Black Garnet is a crystal (shop SKU AKBG3) on the shelves at Namaste Bookshop in Manhattan.

Garnet is a group of silicate minerals; rhodolite is a purplish-red variety. In crystal traditions, garnet is associated with vitality and commitment. Those ideas belong to folklore and personal practice, not to any medical claim.

Natural stones vary in color, clarity, and shape, so the piece you receive will have its own character even when the weight, grade, or size is listed.

Namaste Bookshop is on the south side of 14th Street, just west of Fifth Avenue, about a short walk from Union Square.
