Garnet, with its rich wine-like color, is also called garnet stone because of its pomegranate-like color.

In Latin, garnet means "protection from illness."
It is also the birthstone for January, and is said to be a stone that leads to victory and success,
and also means "leading to success by continuing to make steady efforts without sparing any effort."

There is also a record of a woman giving it as a pendant as a gift to a medieval knight.
There is even an anecdote that the pendant deflected an arrow, and it was worn with the hope of victory in mind,
and it is still used as a talisman today.

Comparing garnet to quartz, garnet is about 20% heavier than quartz.
It is heavy because it is hard and packed with crystals.
In ancient Egypt and Europe, garnet was also believed to be effective against poor health, and in addition to being used as an ornament, it was also used as a medicine to stop bleeding.

Garnet is a very rare rosary for the Soto Zen sect.
You can tell a rosary is high quality when you see it.
This is a rosary that I would recommend.
