About Red Rhodolite Garnet as a Gemstone
Rhodolite is a garnet intermediate in composition between pyrope and almandine, showing a distinctive purplish red to raspberry colour that separates it from darker red garnets. It is typically bright and clean. You can read more via gemmological reference, mineral data.
Rhodolite occurs in metamorphic rocks and in the alluvial gravels derived from them, with notable production from Tanzania, Mozambique, Sri Lanka and North Carolina.
