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 Africa are amazingly attractive, and are fast becoming very popular among collectors and dealers, as this material is not very common in other parts of the world. This gem has a strong red color face up with VVS clarity. The cut on this stone is a "Concave Round Brilliant" which actually has facets that curve INTO the underside of the stone to create more light return. It is a good reference stone from what is proving to be one of the premier localities in the world for the material.
