Stone: Garnet chips. The word garnet means seed-like, because garnets resemble pomegranate seeds. Garnet represents Persephone's courage, powerful positive thinking, and the solar plexus or root chakra.

The deep, glossy red color of garnet resembles the juicy seeds of a pomegranate, which is perhaps why its name is derived from the Latin word granatum, meaning pomegranate seed. In Greek mythology, a pomegranate was often given as a gift of passion and associated with eternal love.Legend states that Hades gifted a pomegranate to Persephone before she left his domain to ensure a speedy and safe return. When she did return, the fruit transformed into a handful of the red gemstones.
