Open Heart Horse Brooch with Garnet & Quartz

Symbolizing strength, power & nobility horses are an important symbol in Balinese culture, also considered as companions to many gods. This gorgeous brooch effortlessly embraces the rich purple and red hues of umbalite in a pairing with the mysterious darkness of smoky quartz. This stone combination with our much loved open heart motif makes this a piece that matches almost any outfit. 

One of the rarest stones in the garnet family, purple garnets or umbalite stand out for their vibrant rich shades of pink and purple. This stone is currently only found in Tanzania’s Umba river valley and shady gem dealers often try to pass off lesser garnets as the rare umbalite. Known for its emotional healing properties, this wondrous stone is associated with compassion, kindness & understanding as well as promoting self-worth.

Smoky quartz is perhaps one the world's more mysterious gems. While its mysterious black-brown hue has been prized in jewelry for centuries it’s only recently been discovered that this coloration is the result of thousands of years exposed to radiation inside the earth's crust. While thankfully the stones don’t have any radioactivity to worry about they are prized as a protective stone in both the physical, emotional and spiritual realm.
