Genuine Rhodolite

Garnet

The family name of chemically related minerals, garnet comes from the Latin granatus for seed-like as many of the crystals have the shape and color of pomegranate seeds. Believed to signify faith, loyalty, truth and devotion, garnet is known as the stone of commitment. It was thought to help its wearer resist melancholy, ward off evil spirits, and spark creativity. January’s birthstone, garnet also is the recommended gift for a second wedding anniversary. Garnets have good durability ranging from 6.5-7.5 on the Moh’s scale, and they are found naturally in most colors except blue.

Genuine Rhodolite Garnet boasts a vibrant cranberry color, and its name is derived from the rhododendron flower that shares a similar hue. It is mainly found in Zimbabwe, Sri Lanka and Kenya.
