Lotus Garnet, the story
The lotus garnet, in particular, is named after the lotus flower, which holds a special meaning in many cultures, symbolizing purity and enlightenment. It is believed to bring love and friendship to the wearer and is considered a perfect gift for a dear friend or significant other.
One unique feature of the lotus garnet is its colour shift phenomenon. In daylight, the gemstone appears to have a richer shade, making it even more alluring and sought after by collectors and jewellery designers alike.
With a hardness rating of 7-7.5 on the Mohs scale, lotus garnet is durable enough for everyday wear, making it a versatile and beautiful addition to any gemstone collection or jewellery piece.
