Rhodolite Garnet | 5.6mm Faceted Round Gemstone | Tanzania | GR102
Rhodolite Garnet | 5.6mm Faceted Round Gemstone | Tanzania | GR102
This 5.6mm round cut rhodolite weighs 0.45 carats and displays a rich, bright magenta that sits at the more saturated and vibrant end of the rhodolite color spectrum — a color that reads with exceptional immediacy face-up and retains its intensity across a wide range of lighting conditions. Originating from Northern Tanga, Tanzania, this stone carries the hallmark color character of East African rhodolite, which is widely regarded as among the finest in the world for its clarity, brilliance, and the distinctive pinkish-red to magenta hues that distinguish Tanzanian material from the more muted tones of rhodolite found elsewhere. The heart shape is an inherently demanding cut that requires precise symmetry and skilled execution to achieve balanced lobes and a clean point, making a well-cut heart of this quality a notable lapidary achievement at under half a carat.
Rhodolite is a magnesium-rich variety of pyrope-almandine garnet, a naturally occurring intermediate composition that produces the characteristic raspberry, rose, and magenta tones that have made it one of the most sought-after garnet varieties among designers and collectors. Tanzania's Tanga region has long been recognized as a premier source for fine rhodolite, producing stones with a combination of high clarity and vivid color saturation that rivals material many times their price point.
