Its cinnamon hue comes from traces of iron and manganese; it is also called the “cinnamon stone.” Its name comes from the Greek \u003cem\u003ehêssôn\u003c\/em\u003e, “inferior,” because it is slightly less hard and less dense than other garnets. It remains durable, with a hardness of 7 to 7.5 on the Mohs scale. It is mined mainly in Sri Lanka, India, Madagascar, and Tanzania.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIn lithotherapy:\u003c\/strong\u003e hessonite is associated with the root and sacral chakras. In the Indian tradition, where it is called \u003cem\u003egomedh\u003c\/em\u003e, it is believed to dispel doubts and strengthen self-confidence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e100% natural product:\u003c\/strong\u003e the size, shape, color, and number of beads may vary slightly from one strand to another.
