This exotic red pyrope garnet sitting in a quartz matrix is from Karibib, Namibia. A large chunky palm size piece, the red garnet is a rich cherry red and is dotted all over the matrix making for an unusual and unique specimen. 
Known as the ‘pomegranate’ stone due to its shape and colour, red pyrope garnet supports the physical chakras, particularly the root chakra, which is the place of survival and stability. It helps keep us rooted, and boosts strength and vitality, thereby energising the physical body. When rooted, this allows for creativity to manifest. 
Myth - Garnet has long been used by travellers for protection.
