C&S-Garnet_Rhodolite-Genuine
With its shimmering brilliance and raspberry freshness, Rhodolite Garnet can cheer the bleakest winter day. It immediately lifts the spirits; creating lively, exuberant excitement in all who wear it. Tales of Garnet date back to the time of Noah, who is said to have steered the Ark by a lantern made of this dazzling gem. Garnet jewels were also favored in ancient Rome and Egypt, where they were held to ward off evil. The astonishing brilliance of Garnet, now understood to result from its high refraction of light, may explain the stone’s legendary reputation for magically illuminating the night. The rich hue of Rhodolite Garnet boasts undertones of rose and plum. A sumptuous gem, it makes an ideal accessory for the vivid designs of spring as well as the understated styles of winter. A luxurious color, Rhodolite Garnet looks more expensive then it actually is. In reality, it is a stunning, affordable gem available in sizes from subtle to outspoken. Sri Lanka, India and East Africa are primary sources for Rhodolite Garnet, with East Africa being the region where our Rhodolite is mined.
