Garnet can be found in the United States, South America, Madagascar, Africa, Russia, Pakistan, and India. According to some legends, Garnets are among the most ancient amulets, once worn by Egyptian pharaohs and considered powerful symbols of life. Revered across many cultures, Garnets were used not only in jewelry, but also in abrasives, and even for protection against the plague. Remarkably, they were at times fashioned into bullets, believed to carry mystical power.
 
Rose Quartz can be found in many places, including the United States, Madagascar, India, Germany, South Africa, and Canada. This specific pendant is from Madagascar. The history of Rose Quartz dates back to 7000 BC in Mesopotamia. The stone was used by the Assyrians and Romans to create jewelry and amulets. The Egyptians also valued Rose Quartz, believing it had magical properties to enhance youthfulness and beauty. In Greek mythology, it was associated with Aphrodite and given as a symbol of love.

Later, during the Middle Ages, it was believed to help balance emotions and heal anger. In some Native American cultures, Rose Quartz was used in ceremonies to bring harmony and open hearts to compassion. Also known as the "love stone," many people today still believe that Rose Quartz aids in emotional growth, promotes peace, and encourages love.
