6-RAY STAR GARNET TUMBLE
This listing is for (1) 6-ray Star Garnet tumble, which will be intuitively selected.
Each is approx. 7-20g; photo in hand for approx. scale.
There are extra photos to show the garnets both with and without direct lighting - you need a strong, direct light to see the stars (asterism). There is one with direct sunlight (the photo in my hand with grass in the background).

Star Garnet
Garnet is energizing - it balances and uplifts energies. This stone promotes resiliency and encourages success; inspires love and devotion. Opens up the heart & encourages self-confidence. Garnet can also help you feel grounded & protected, sitting with these stones can bring great comfort.
Star Garnet is typically associated with Ruby and Sapphire, though it is occasionally seen in Garnet. Star Garnets are so rare that they have only been found in Idaho, USA and India to date. The star effect (called asterism) is caused by inclusions of rutile in Almandine Garnet. The rutile needles have to have the correct alignment in order to reflect in the proper pattern that forms a 4-rayed or 6-rayed star. Most Star Garnets are 4-rayed, so 6 is even more rare.
