Another happy Tuesday from a snowy Ohio River Valley! I hope
everyone had an amazing, relaxing weekend. I’m very excited to discuss this
weekend’s exceptional gem. Some quick background information on me, January is
always an awesome month in my house because three of my family member’s birthdays
fall within the first month of the year. This week’s gem is dedicated to all of
the amazing gem-loving people who also have a January birthday! That’s right
this week, we’re talking about the January birthstone Uvarovite Garnet.
This beautiful emerald green gem is a rare but not forgotten
version of the January birthstone. Germain Henri Hess first discovered Uvarovite
Garnet around 1830; he then named it after a Russian statesman and mineral
collector, Count Sergei Semenovitch Uvarov. It is one of the most rare Garnet
stones, and can be found across the globe in countries such as Spain, Russia,
Canada and South Africa.
In ancient Greek mythology, Garnet was believed to be able
to heal emotional rifts between people. Additionally, it was used to honor
Persephone, the Greek goddess of spring who represented the Earth coming alive
again with beginning of spring. It was also used to honor Sekhmet, the Egyptian
goddess of war and the most powerful goddess of Lower Egypt who was depicted
with the head of a lion and the body of a woman.
Uvarovite Garnet is often called the stone of abundance
because it can create an abundance of love, acceptance and peace. Moreover,
this gem can help its wearer through periods of solitude without experiencing
loneliness. This wonder gem can even help boost your self-confidence and fill
your heart with a feeling that you have everything you need. It can also assist
you in expressing yourself in a new positive way. This stone is associated with
the heart chakra and can promote both wealth and prosperity.
But this gem’s help does not end with emotional and
spiritual influences. It can help you with physical aliments by easing the
symptoms of arthritis, wounds and scars. For all of its wonderful
characteristics, Uvarovite Garnet has been used around the world for centuries
as a protective gem, as well as a stone to promote enlightenment. It was even
used as a protective talisman during the Crusades.
