Pharaoh Rhodolite Garnet Pyramid Ring | Egyptian Collection

The shape of Egyptian pyramids is thought to represent the primordial mound from which the Egyptians believed the earth was created. The base of a pyramid is thought to represent the physical body, the sides the journey of life and the point symbolises union with one’s higher power. The Egyptians believed the dark area of the night sky around which the stars appear to revolve was the physical gateway into the heavens.

One of the narrow shafts that extend from the main burial chamber through the entire body of the Great Pyramid points directly towards the centre of this part of the sky. This suggests the pyramid may have been designed to serve as a means to magically launch the deceased pharaoh's soul directly into the abode of the gods.

Rhodolite is a variety of Pyrope Garnet. Its name is derived from two Greek words meaning "rose stone." It displays all the brilliancy and fire of the Garnets, with a beautiful colour ranging from rose red to pale violet. Rhodolite Garnet is a crystal of inspiration and emotional healing. It encourages love, kindness and compassion, and promotes self-worth and spiritual growth.
