My great grandfather had a necklace that had a garnet oblisque shaped on a string, he would not let anyone have it unless they were sick. the string on the garnet was tied in a way that when it laid on you it formed a triangle, does this sound familiar. any info is appreciated

There is one page might be interesting to look at, because it does make reference to the NAs. "The natives of North and South America and African tribal elders considered garnet a sacred stone. The ancient Egyptians carved garnet into beads for protective necklaces. In ancient times, garnets were noted for their protective energies. They were also thought to reduce toxins within the body and heal emotional problems. The gem was often worn as an amulet in defense against poisons. Placed under the pillow, they had the power to dispel bad dreams and depression. Some ancient Asiatic tribes used red garnets as projectiles for their slings because once they struck, they could not easily be seen in the blood. Indian soldiers fighting the British at Kashmir are said to have used garnet bullets in the hope of causing bloody, non-healing wounds. In other places though, the stones were purposefully placed within wounds to encourage healing, and they were thought to prevent wounds."(Read more www.angelfire.com/de/poetry/Gemstones/garnet.html )
