Collection: Mozambique Garnet

“Mozambique garnet” typically refers to a pyrope–almandine mix from Mozambique, showing raspberry to wine-red hues with lively transparency—ideal for bracelets and strands.

Expect rich crimson, raspberry, or wine-red. Fine strands show even saturation without brown or overly dark areas; slight bead-to-bead variation is natural.

Garnet often shows mixed undertones and natural inclusions; ruby is corundum with different refractive character; spinel tends to be brighter/cleaner; glass may show bubbles and feels lighter/warm.

Yes—garnet rates about Mohs 6.5–7.5, suitable for daily wear. Avoid sharp impacts and abrasive rubbing that can soften the polish.

Most garnet is untreated. Heat or dye is uncommon. Always purchase with straightforward treatment disclosure.

Brief water contact is fine; avoid long soaks, chlorine, and saltwater. Dry after wear and keep elastic/metal parts away from harsh chemicals or perfume.

Use lukewarm water + mild soap and a soft cloth; rinse and dry fully. Skip ultrasonic/steam if the piece includes plated components or visible fractures.

In crystal traditions, garnet is worn as a reminder of vitality, warmth, and steadfast commitment—a belief-based cue for motivation and grounding.

Measure a snug wrist with a soft tape, then add 0.5–0.7 in (1.2–1.8 cm) for elastic comfort. S ≈ 5.5–6 in, M ≈ 6–6.5 in, L ≈ 6.5–7 in.

6 mm reads refined and stack-friendly; 8 mm offers bolder color presence and a clean single-strand focal.

For classic warmth, pair with gold-plated accents; for contrast, add baroque pearls or black onyx; for clarity, mix clear quartz.
