2.03 ct Purple Garnet-Rhodolite - Cushion

At 2.03 carats, this rhodolite garnet carries its purple color through a cushion cut, measuring 7.3 x 7 x 5 mm.

Rhodolite sits between pyrope and almandine, with a raspberry note the eye reads as livelier than either parent species. It is entirely untreated; no heat, no enhancement, the color exactly as the earth made it. That is typical of garnet, one of the few gem families that reaches the market almost entirely untreated.

Its exact combination of color, cut, and origin is its own, the kind of center stone you choose on purpose and build a piece around. Hand-selected and filmed by Caveman Gems in good light, shown as honestly as a screen allows.
