Czech garnet - national jewel

In 2010, at the jewelery exhibition in Moscow, craftsmen from the Czech Republic presented unique products of yellow and pink gold and silver with garnets mined and processed in their country. Most of all the public liked silver products with a coating of ruthenium. This layer creates a blackening effect, and the decoration looks like an old one. In addition, the coating protects the surface of the decoration from scratches. At the same time, an agreement was reached on the delivery of products from these famous stones to Moscow. These decorations are produced by the production cooperative "Granat Turnov", which alone in the whole of the Czech Republic has a license to develop stone deposits. Grenades are extracted near Prague near the small town of Teplice. In order not to buy a fake, you need to demand in the store a certificate confirming the authenticity of the stone. A real Czech garnet can now be bought in Moscow. Now on sale a lot of products with similar pebbles from China. They cost five times cheaper than Czech.

Features of Czech stone

This is a semi-precious stone that belongs to the group of silicates. The Czech garnet has a blood-red shade and is devoid of any stains, and it is quite small - from 3 to 7 mm. It is the national treasure of the state and is considered the best in the world among such natural stones. Extraordinary purity and transparency of the pomegranate is also preserved in products. In general, it does not necessarily have this color. There are transparent and almost black stones. But the most rare is a mineral of a green hue. In the people there is a belief that local grenades have the magic power to change human sorrow for joy. They are generally credited with the legendary properties. It is as if stolen jewelry with such stones can kill their unrighteous master, and those who have been honestly acquired will remain in the family and will be passed down from generation to generation. Ostensibly the Czech pomegranate protects from nightmares, heals a sick heart, strengthens memory and gives power over surrounding people. It can not be worn by children and people who want to live in peace, as it awakens human passions and pushes them toward violent activities.
