Hessonite

HESSONITE
** Also known as "Cinnamon Garnet," this is a variety of Garnet that is brown, orange, red, or peach colored.** Hessonite is thought to aid in letting go of outgrown ideas, views, habits, and behaviors of the past. It promotes positive change in the wearer's life. It encourages new challenges, and provides the courage to accept those challenges. ** Called the "Creativity Stone," Hessonite stimulates creativity in all forms. It aids in self-respect and respect of others, and eliminates feelings of inferiority that may lead one to give up creative tasks. It is considered a strong spiritual stone for wise people; it prevents gossip-spreading and gives the ability to approach troubles with intelligence.** Physically, Hessonite is used to regulate hormone, stimulate metabolism, bolster the immune system, and promote good health through better absorption of nutrients in foods.** The word "Hessonite" comes from the Greek hesson, meaning "slight," which refers to the fact that it has a low specific gravity.
