Almandine Garnet Specimen 415gr, Russia

This specimen originates from Chelyabinsk, Russia, a locality known for producing well formed garnets with rich colour and strong crystal presence. The specimen displays deep red to reddish brown tones, characteristic of iron rich Almandine, with natural crystal faces reflecting its cubic crystal structure.

Almandine Garnet is a member of the Garnet group and belongs to the Nesosilicate mineral category. It forms under high pressure and temperature conditions deep within the Earth’s crust. Its colour is primarily influenced by iron content within the crystal lattice.

Almandine crystallises in the cubic system and is valued for both its durability and its geological significance. Specimens from this region often occur in association with minerals such as Quartz, Biotite and Hornblende, reflecting the complex conditions under which they formed.

Traditionally, Almandine Garnet is associated with grounding, strength and protection. Closely linked to the Root Chakra, it is often chosen to support stability, resilience and a strong sense of connection to the Earth.

This specimen is safe for water cleansing, though gentle handling is recommended to preserve natural crystal surfaces.
