Rhodolite Garnet
The Rose of the Garnet Family
Rhodolite Garnet is a naturally occurring blend of Pyrope and Almandine Garnets. Its remarkable raspberry-red to purplish-pink color offers exceptional brilliance and a softer elegance than traditional deep-red garnets.
Named after the Greek word 'Rhodon', meaning rose, Rhodolite was first identified in North Carolina during the late nineteenth century. Today it is celebrated by jewelry designers for its vivid color, outstanding brilliance, and timeless sophistication.
