3. Spessartine is a garnet that ranges in color from light orange to brownish red. It is also called “orange slice” or “tangerine”. The meaning of this stone is also positive - joy, happiness, vigor and energy.
4. “False emerald” is about green garnet, uvarovite. Since some jewelers considered this type of garnet to be “the younger brother of emerald,” the properties were almost identical. This is calmness, wisdom, hard work, greatness and emotional stability in any stressful situations, resistance to many poisons and diseases.
5. Grossulars range in color from light green to brown. Thanks to its soft and delicate shades, it is believed that such a stone helps to develop femininity, tenderness and tolerance towards the shortcomings of a loved one.
6. Very rare specimens of andradita have dark brown and black shades. Because of their peculiar color, they acquired a not very good meaning, as stones of “dark forces” and “lures of the forces of Chaos.” Therefore, there are very few owners of such stones.
