Rhodolite is a mixture of pyrope and almandite garnets. The color ranges from pinkish purple to reddish purple. The name is derived from the Greek rhodon (rose) and lithos (stone). The most popular varieties of rhodolite garnet are grape color garnet and raspberry garnet. It has long been a favorite in the jewelry market. Rhodolite rates 7 to 7.5 on the mohs hardness scale, so it's a durable gemstone suitable for using in jewelry.

Etched rhodolite garnet from Brazil.

I made these garnet earrings a while back. They've been sitting with my keeper stuff.
Spessartine (orange), demantoid (green), rhodolite (purple). #ThanksLoveArt #earrings #garnets #spessartine #demantoid #rhodolite #colorful #purple #green #orange #crystals #natural #nature #ArgentiumSilver

A heart-shaped titanium pendant sits on a white surface. A gold chain trails away from it. The pendant features long pins that point toward the hollow centre of the heart shape, where the pins hold a heart-shaped rhodolite stone.

More old #jewellery. This was my second attempt with "pin setting", called "Sidereus No.2: Cor". I tried to push the shape of the stone that I could set this way. #Titanium, #18Kgold, and a #heartshaped #rhodolite stone.

Good #valentinesday post, I guess.
