* Pomegranate in Latin "granum" means "granular". This mineral got its name due to the similarity with ripe grains of the fruit of the same name: pomegranate crystals have a rounded shape and a similar color. In the Middle Ages, red garnet was also called carbuncle. Definitely, the most common garnet color is deep red. However, the color palette of the stone is much wider.
In ancient Rome, it was believed that pomegranates provide pregnant women with a safe birth. During the Crusades, knights going to Jerusalem wore a garnet ring before a long journey to protect themselves from wounds and poisons. Pomegranates have a positive effect on digestion, respiration, blood circulation and the immune system. There is a belief that garnet necklaces help with high fever, sore throat and prolonged headaches.
You will have a walking tour with a story about the history of the development of the banks of the Iset River in its upper reaches and the legend of the Ural Robin Hood, with a visit to the Palkin stone tents, to the garnet mine, where we will arm ourselves with tools - and get the treasure with our own hands!
