Hessonite Garnet is a common grossular (calcium-aluminum) garnet also known as cinnamon-stone.
Hessonite Garnets come from Sri Lanka and India where it is in found in placer deposits, but its occurrence in its native matrix is somewhere else (we don’t know where yet). It is also found in Brazil and California.
Benefits
Hessonite Garnet helps with dismissing any feelings of inferiority, knowing that as humans, we have our own gifts and talents, as well as our own weaknesses, and what works for others may not work for you. It teaches you to rise up to new challenges and expand your horizons. It aids in the release of old ideas, beliefs and patterns that no longer help us and only bring out the worst of us.
