January Birthstone: Garnet

Garnet, the January birthstone, is a deep red silicate mineral symbolizing passion, protection, and vitality. In astrology, garnet is associated with Capricorn and Aquarius energy and is believed to energize the Root Chakra. Garnets actually come in nearly every color (including green tsavorite and orange spessartine), though the classic pyrope red is the most iconic birthstone variety.
