In crystal work it is often chosen for vitality, renewal and heart-led prosperity.

Garnet is a mineral group rather than a single species. Green Garnet most commonly refers to grossular garnets, including the vivid tsavorite discovered in East Africa in the 20th century. These garnets form in metamorphic rocks and skarn environments where calcium, aluminium, silica and trace elements combine under heat and pressure. Tsavorite gained attention for its intense, saturated green comparable to some emeralds but with greater toughness and brilliance. Other green grossular and andradite garnets offer softer, mossy or yellow-green shades that are also cut into gems and beads. Symbolically, Green Garnet is linked with vitality, growth and heart-centered prosperity—supporting the sense that healthy resources and opportunities can grow in line with your values rather than in opposition to them.

Green Garnet belongs to the broader garnet group, most often the grossular species such as tsavorite.
