{"product_id":"raw-garnet-crystal-necklace-for-women-58294","title":"Raw Almandine Garnet Pendant Necklace | Deep Red Garnet Crystal | January Birthstone | Antique Copper | Electroformed Jewelry","description":"\u003cp\u003eSome stones carry weight. Not literal weight, but the kind you feel the moment they settle against your chest. This pendant is built around a raw almandine garnet in its natural dodecahedral crystal form, the twelve-sided geometric habit garnet grows when the earth has had time to work slowly. Deep red, near-burgundy, with internal fracture planes that catch light unexpectedly. Set in an antique copper electroformed bezel, the aged finish pulls the warmth of the stone forward. On an 18 or 20 inch chain, it sits right at the sternum, which is exactly where it belongs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAlmandine garnet is associated with strength, commitment, and grounded vitality. The January birthstone and the stone of the root chakra. Wear it when you need to feel steady.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Raw Almandine Garnet\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlmandine is the deep red variety of garnet and the most common form of the January birthstone. It forms naturally in a dodecahedral crystal habit, twelve symmetrical diamond-shaped faces that give raw specimens their geometric, almost architectural quality. The stones used in these pendants are uncut and unpolished, retaining their natural fracture faces and internal depth. Color ranges from rich burgundy-red to near-black at the deepest faces. Each stone is hand-selected. No two are identical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eRaw Almandine Garnet Pendant: Materials and Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStone:\u003c\/strong\u003e Raw almandine garnet, natural dodecahedral crystal form, deep red to burgundy, unpolished natural fracture faces.

Copper is electroformed directly around the raw almandine garnet in a slow electrodeposition process that builds up metal layer by layer, capturing every natural edge and crystal face. The antique finish is applied using liver of sulfur, then hand-polished to reveal the warm copper highlights beneath. No two pendants are identical. This is not mass production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eA Note on Stone Variation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRaw almandine garnet varies naturally in size, color depth, and crystal face expression. The photographs are representative of the stone quality and form you will receive, not the exact specimen. Each pendant is its own original.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCare\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRemove before washing hands, swimming, or applying lotion. Store dry. Antique copper will lighten with wear, developing a beautiful natural patina.
