EXTRA DODECAHEDRAL ALMANDINE GARNET (14.4 ct) | HANDMADE PENDANT & ORGANIC ADJUSTABLE RING – 18K GOLD PLATED
The strength of natural Almandine Garnet meets the warmth of gold in this LAZZERINI-GEOJOIAS piece. The 14.4 ct Brazilian crystal preserves its natural dodecahedral geometry, displaying light-to-deep red tones, translucency and less than 10% matrix — features that support its EXTRA grade within the brand’s selection criteria.
The authorial design combines a handcrafted wire-wrapped pendant with an organic adjustable ring band, both finished in 18k gold plating. A distinctive natural gemstone jewel for those who value exclusivity, mineralogy and the beauty of the Earth in a one-of-a-kind piece.
ORIGIN & THE SCIENCE OF BEAUTY
Sourced from São João del-Rei, Minas Gerais, Brazil, this Almandine Garnet belongs to the garnet group, a family of nesosilicate minerals known for hardness, vitreous luster and a long gemological tradition. Almandine’s characteristic red color is mainly related to its iron-rich composition.
The crystal shows a dodecahedral habit, a natural twelve-faced geometry that reveals crystal growth without faceting. Under the LAZZERINI-GEOJOIAS classification, it is EXTRA grade: beautiful light-to-deep red color, translucency and less than 10% matrix. Its natural form, texture and subtle individual features make the specimen unique.
SYMBOLISM & ENERGY – TRADITIONAL VIEW
For millennia, garnet has been symbolically associated with passion, loyalty, courage, vitality and protection. In crystal traditions, Almandine represents grounding, presence and commitment and is often called the “Stone of Passion.” These are cultural and spiritual associations and do not constitute scientifically established therapeutic effects.
CHAKRAS
Traditionally linked to the Root, Sacral and Heart chakras, symbolizing security, creativity, affection, connection to the present and inner strength.
ZODIAC
In esoteric traditions, Garnet is associated with Leo, Virgo, Capricorn and Aquarius. It is also the January birthstone, making this Geo-Jewelry a meaningful gift choice.
