1.15 ct Pink Garnet-Rhodolite - Emerald Cut

At 1.15 carats, this rhodolite garnet from Tanzania carries its pink color through an emerald cut, measuring 7.8 x 5.2 x 3.4 mm.

Rhodolite sits between pyrope and almandine, with a raspberry note the eye reads as livelier than either parent species. Tanzania's gem gravels yield one of the widest spreads of garnet species anywhere, with the saturation East African material is known for. It carries no treatment of any kind, so the color you see is the color that came out of the ground. That is typical of garnet, one of the few gem families that reaches the market almost entirely untreated.

A genuine rhodolite garnet at a size and price you can actually wear, the real thing rather than a machine-grown copy. Hand-selected and photographed by Caveman Gems in good light, shown as honestly as a screen allows.
