Our pendants differ from necklaces in that they do not have a chain.  For those who wish to expand their ChakraJewel collection or already have a chain, this is the perfect solution.  All our necklaces are available as pendants. 

The first chakra is found at the base of the spine where the legs connect to the trunk of the body.  It is energized by the colors red and black.

Size:  approximately 3/4" tall x 1/2" wide

Red Garnet Pendant

Description:  Garnet are found in many colors including red, orange, yellow, green, purple, brown, blue, black, pink and colorless, but they are best known for their rich, red color, as is shown in our spectacular first chakra jewel.  The larger stone is quite dark and regal-looking, especially with the fine facted garnet which sits on top.  Think of black cherry soda or dark bing cherries for color.  The stone pictured  is a sample, but all the material we have is quite similar.  When I have purchased garnets in the rough, they are shaped like eight-sided soccer balls that are so dark, they appear almost black.  The material is cut into thin slabs, and then faceted, allowing light to pass through it and display flashes of rich red colors.  As is often the case with garnets, there are some small surface pits and inclusions in stones this large. 

Root Chakra Information for Garnet Pendant
When embarking on chakra study, this is the place to begin.  The first or root chakra is centered around our most basic need to survive and thrive.  Security, home, safety, family and a connection to the earth are all paramount to this chakra.  First chakra energy runs through the lower trunk of the body down to the feet.  Simply by pressing your feet against the ground, you feel stronger and more balanced.  Standing your ground, finding your roots, being surefooted, well grounded or rock solid, are all common sayings that revolve around the first chakra.  Communing with nature is a sure way to connect with this part of the chakra system.  It is the feeling that we belong to the earth, not the other way around.
