About the stone

Rhodolite is a variety of garnet, noted for its rosy to reddish-purple hues reminiscent of rose petals. It is prized for its clarity and lively brilliance, making it an elegant choice for jewelry.

With the good hardness typical of garnets, rhodolite stands up well to everyday wear, though moderate care is recommended to avoid strong impacts and scratches.
