Rhodolite Garnet Gems
The Raspberry Radiance: Natural Rhodolite Garnet Gems
Experience the romantic allure of Rhodolite Garnet, the premier choice for jewellery designers seeking vibrant pinkish-red and purplish hues. Unlike the darker, brownish tones of common garnets, Rhodolite is a rare "solid solution" of Pyrope and Almandine, resulting in a raspberry red colour that remains bright even in low-light settings.
At gemstonecabochon.com, we specialise in sourcing high-quality Rhodolite from world-renowned locations like Tanzania’s Umba River Valley and Sri Lanka. Our collection caters to every artisan’s needs, offering:
-
Faceted Rhodolite Garnets: Precision-cut to maximise a high refractive index, offering a brilliance that rivals rubies and pink sapphires.
-
Rhodolite Cabochons: Smooth, high-dome polishes that showcase the stone’s rich saturation and "inner glow".
Why Choose Rhodolite Garnet for Your Jewellery?
- Durability: With a Mohs hardness of 7–7.5, Rhodolite is ideal for everyday wear, including engagement rings and bracelets.
- Untreated Beauty: Rhodolite is one of the few gemstones on the market that is rarely heat-treated, meaning the vivid colour you see is 100% natural.
- Metaphysical Properties: Known as the "Stone of Inspiration", it is a favourite in the holistic community for balancing the Heart and Root chakras.
Whether you are looking for a Victorian-style centrepiece or a modern birthstone gift, our Rhodolite selection offers the perfect blend of luxury and affordability.
