1.16 ct Pink Garnet-Rhodolite - Cushion

At 1.16 carats, this rhodolite garnet from Tanzania carries its pink color through a cushion cut, measuring 7.8 x 4.9 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 is wholly untreated, its color finished by geology rather than by any furnace or enhancement. 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 filmed by Caveman Gems in good light, shown as honestly as a screen allows.
