Rhodolite

Item Description

Rhodolite Garnets are some of the most vivid and beautiful gems in the Garnet family. These stones are beloved for their great color and large size stones. The Rhodolites from Tanzania are amazingly attractive, and are fast becoming very popular among collectors and dealers, as this material is not very common. This gem has a deep red color, with moderate inclusions. The cut on this stone is a "Concave Pear" cut. It is a fairly good sized stone from what is proving to be one of the premier localities in the world for the material. The color is a bit dark, but 6+ carat Rhodolites are not terribly common on the market.
