G is for Garnet
Garnets encourage joy and hope. Its fiery color stimulates the imagination and fights fatigue. Aries and Scorpio are particularly attuned to garnet. Indian mythology called it the "Kundalini Fire" -strengthening the heart, enlightening the soul and giving wisdom. The mineral's sparkle and color is revealed only when it is cut.
Painted with Winsor Newton's Brown Madder, one of my new favorite colors. Didn't it make a gorgeous garnet color when combined with Permanent Rose and dropped in Alizarin? The uncut mineral was created with Burnt Sienna and Cerulean. Shout out to Joanie H. for the suggestion last week! xo
