Deep burgundy Almandine Garnets are scattered throughout the dark matrix, contrasting beautifully against the incredible fibrous flashes of Anthophyllite. When moved in the light, the Anthophyllite comes alive with iridescent flashes of blue, silvery blue and subtle green and gold tones.

The combination of rich Garnet and shimmering fibres makes this such an interesting piece — the photos really don't capture how beautiful the flash is when you move it in the light.

It is called a soapstone because of its smooth carved shape, rather than referring to the mineral soapstone.

Metaphysically, this beautiful combination is associated with grounding, strength and inner balance. Almandine Garnet is traditionally connected with courage, vitality and stability, while Anthophyllite is believed to encourage calm, clarity and personal growth. Cordierite is often associated with intuition, self-discovery and helping you find direction when moving through periods of change.

Together, they make a lovely combination for grounding your energy while encouraging confidence, clarity and a deeper connection with yourself.
