The garnet stone is the birthstone for January.
Garnet is the recommended gemstone for the second and sixth wedding anniversary.
It is also associated with the astrological signs of Aquarius and Leo.
The name comes from the fruit pomegranate. It does somewhat resemble the red seeds of the fruit. Garnet has been a popular gemstone since the Bronze Age
The beautiful red garnet is the favorite of most people and also the best known. However, g
arnet stones may also be transparent, yellow, orange, purple, brown green, or blue. Blue garnet is very rare and extremely expensive.
The garnet stone has a long tradition of supporting and helping your business or profession. You may choose to wear it in jewelry to help boost your career.
If you do not want to wear jewelry, try to keep a few garnet gemstones in a nice container or jar on your desk or close to your workplace.
Garnet's powers include healing, strength, and protection and it is often worn to relieve inflammations of the skin. It is also believed to regulate the heart and blood flow and aid in curing depression.

A head
start of a new era that will no doubt bring intense new challenges, the Pantone Color Institute has announced that its 2020
Color of the Year is PANTONE 19-4052 Classic Blue, a deep blue shade that's at once comforting and relatable.
The indigo hue brings to mind both the constant and the classic; the sky at dusk, an impeccably tailored suit, serene waters, or a bowl of perfectly ripe blueberries.
