$310.80 $444.00

This radiant, large garnet crystal sphere illuminates in deep ruby red hues. Hand polished, almandine garnet is deeply rooted in the song of the earth.

The light loves this wild stone.

Bringing the multidimentionality of this crystal being to life, the light reveals the extraordinary layers of the piece, calling the radiant pockets of deep red gem garnet forward.

Garnet moves with a weightedness that defies gravity. With an exceptionally high density, garnet’s deep, energetic connection to the earth is mirrored in our tactile, tangible experience.

Pathways of black manganese meander around the sphere, woven through inclusions of green fuchsite which illuminates in luminescent green.

Extraordinary, multicolored flash erupts from the depths of the ruby red ocean surrounding it, and a small distinct pocket of gold captures the sun.

It is possible that this is pyrite, though from what I’ve researched and experienced, there is a probability that this is a small inclusion of gold.

Alchemized through one of garnet’s natural fissures during this wild stone’s creation.

The weight of this large crystal sphere does not feel incidental, the number 555 calling in the energy of transformation and manifestation through intentional action.

Found in Orissa, almandine garnet is a stone of the ancients.

Hand and heart crafted by a small artisan local to this wild stone’s place of origin, this Indian garnet sphere sings of a time when we moved in alignment with the spirit of the ground beneath our feet.

A stone of tangible truth, this extraordinary garnet crystal being moves radiant, rich color which shifts with angle and perspective.

The language of imagery is written in the cacophony of distinct patterns.

A depression exists in the surface of the sphere. This imprint is naturally occurring an inclusion kept during this brilliant garnet sphere’s creation (photo #4).

Garnet speaks to the nature of transformation itself, and polishing garnet is almost always done by hand.

It’s natural fissures and density demand a heart centered tenderness that feels irreplaceable by machinery.

The creation of these radiant crystal spheres are an act of intention.

Resonant with the history of ancient civilizations who lived in intimate relationship with the earth. almandine garnet is one of the most deeply connected root chakra stones.

Earth-centric, almandine garnet fosters our own relationship with the physical world, our densest, most tangible experience of reality.

A stone of the “tangible truth,” almandine garnet is also rooted in the heart, holding space for us to move the heart’s intentions through the body and manifest them here in the present.

This wise stone becomes an invitation for us to lean into our cellular memory of what it meant to be in right relationship with the ground beneath our feet.

The earth comes up to meet us, no matter where we are.

A source of stability, the vital life force which animates all things moves through us, holding space for us to show up for this wild and precious life, supported from the ground up.

This support stimulates the kundalini energy held at our root, spiraling up from the base of our spine. It moves along our meridians, our central channel, acting as a conduit between our root and our crown.

In open relationship with both above and below, the earth’s gravitational pull supports us to draw the divine wisdom of spirit down through the body, rooting our universal truth here in the tangible realm.

By deepening our connection between the infinite and the tactile, garnet supports our relationship with our own understanding and expression of self.

The stone of tangible truth, it holds space for us to orient. To step into our body. To find our place the world. In this moment.

Almandine garnet resonates with the energetic intention of the law of correspondence.

As above, so below.

Crystal spheres are powerful tools in their own right, energy held at the center and moving out, radiating in all directions.

The circle itself is a foundational part of sacred geometry. It is an integral part of the blueprint of creation, embodying the cyclical nature which is reflected in all things.

**Since humans began to document communication, and likely even before then, stones have been used to support emotional, physical and spiritual well-being. Stones are matter, and like all matter, vibrate at their own frequency. This energetic support is most often used as one modality in a larger, holistic, whole health approach.

Ethical Commitment - Part I

Unfortunately mining crystals is not regulated in most places, which makes ensuring stones are sourced ethically quite difficult at times.

We believe wholeheartedly that these stones have the power to foster great healing, and it is with love and reverence for Mother Earth, each other, and all things that we offer these products.

We work hard to do our due-diligence. We ask questions about the origin of the pieces, and do not purchase from mines/areas that are known for having unfair practices.

Sometimes we are at the mercy of the vendor regarding this information. See our FAQ, “Ethical Stone Information - Part II” for details regarding the steps we take before we’re comfortable listing these offerings.

Ethical Commitment - Part II

Certain areas/mines have no regulations in place to protect the environment, ensure staff is age appropriate, receives fair pay, treatment & benefits & has adequate PPE. We will not purchase from these locations & we work hard to determine each piece’s origin.

When not possible, we must rely on our vendors. We’ve invested time, money & effort into building relationships & trust. We also always trust our gut - If we’re not comfortable, we will not purchase. We continue to educate ourselves & on the rare occasion we learn later that a piece was mined unethically, we will pull it.

Though ethically sourced often = higher cost, we believe strongly in these values. We strive to offer pieces accessible to all, with great love & deep gratitude.

Why is Everything Priced as a Whole Number?

There is a short and a less than short answer here.

Short answer - I’ve never been able to get behind the whole psychology of “charging $9.99 will look like a better deal than $10 & will increase your sales.” This feels almost dishonest for me, personally, & it’s not a practice I am comfortable with simply for the sake of it.

The less than short answer is that I have always loved whole numbers, particularly the number 0. “0” is often referred to as the void & is considered the space of nothingness. While this isn’t untrue, from nothingness comes the infinite possibility of everything. The void is the beginning of creation, the sacred pause. The end & the beginning.

The number “0” has always felt like magic in tangible form to me.
