Description:  Garnets are best known for their rich, red color, as is shown in our spectacular first chakra jewel.  It is not easy to find high quality garnet beads, because the material is too valuable to waste drilling a hole in it.  I was thrilled when I had the chance to buy these.  The color and clarity are superb, but it is the trillion cut that makes this such a special gemstone.  While the stone is relatively small, it is thick and with a nice weight to it.  These garnets bring to mind the juicy red color of pomegranate seeds and bright red cranberries.  

Root Chakra Information for Garnet Trillion Earrings

When embarking on chakra study, this is the place to begin.  The first or root chakra is centered around our most basic need to survive and thrive.  Security, home, safety, family and a connection to the earth are all paramount to this chakra.  First chakra energy runs through the lower trunk of the body down to the feet.  Simply by pressing your feet against the ground, you feel stronger and more balanced.  Standing your ground, finding your roots,being surefooted, well grounded or rock solid, are all common sayings that revolve around the first chakra.  Communing with nature is a sure way to connect with this part of the chakra system.  It is the feeling that we belong to the earth, not the other way around.
