rhodolite gemstoneRhodolite is a pink to reddish-purple garnet gemstone variety. Is rhodolite garnet a natural stone? It is! Rhodolite’s gorgeous hues, be it raspberry, plum, or wine, are all created by nature. 

Among garnets, rhodolite is distinguished for its lighter, more purple color and wider variety of sources. Among gemstones in general, rhodolite stands out for its high refractive index — meaning fantastic sparkle — and rich, romantic colors. 

But is rhodolite garnet a good stone? We’d say so, but you’ll be able to say for yourself by the end of this guide. 

Today, we’ll go over all of rhodolite garnet’s properties, healing powers, history, prices, and more.

About Rhodolite Garnet Stone

Rhodolite garnet is a semi-precious gemstone, though it often resembles the precious gemstone ruby. In fact, some of rhodolite's nicknames include:

  • Arizona Ruby

  • Montana Ruby

  • New Mexico Ruby

Of course, rhodolite and ruby are different stones. 

The main differences between rhodolite garnet vs. ruby are their composition, hardness, price, and rarity. Ruby is a corundum gemstone that ranks at 9 on the Mohs mineral hardness scale, higher than rhodolite. Ruby is also rarer and more expensive than rhodolite. 

Since rhodolite is less pricey, it makes an affordable substitute to ruby as the traditional July birthstone. Individually, rhodolite is a January birthstone, Capricorn or Aquarius, zodiac stone, and 2nd wedding anniversary gem, like all garnets. 

Regarding common mix-ups, rhodolite is often confused with rhodonite. Rhodonite is an opaque, rose-red manganese inosilicate gem commonly found with black to brown veining or spots.

Rhodolite Specifications & Characteristics

The garnet mineral group has a complex family tree. The main series are pyralspite — pyrope, almandine, and spessartite — and ugrandite — uvarovite, grossular, and andradite. Each species has its own varieties, though many varieties are hybrids. 

Rhodolite is a hybrid of pyrope and almandine, leading to the nickname “pyrandine.” The stone’s formula is (Fe,Mg)3Al2Si3O12. 

Traditionally, rhodolite was believed to be 1 part almandine and 2 parts pyrope. Modern gemology sources list the ratio as 3 parts almandine to 7 parts pyrope. 

Nevertheless, traces of other species like spessartite and grossular are common in rhodolites, and the pyrope-almandine ratio may vary among different rhodolites. 

You may be able to distinguish rhodolite from similar-looking gems with a magnet, as rhodolite garnet is strongly to very strongly magnetic.

Here are the remaining rhodolite properties:

  • Mohs hardness: 7-7.5

  • Color: Light to dark shades between pink, red, and purple including lavender pink, raspberry, red, purplish-violet, purplish-red, reddish-purple, violet, red

  • Crystal structure: Cubic/isometric

  • Luster: Vitreous (glassy)

  • Transparency: Translucent to transparent

  • Refractive index: 1.745-1.795 (Some ranges vary by source; Tanzania = 1.745-1.760; North Carolina, USA = 1.760-1.761; Zimbabwe = 1.750-1.760)

  • Density: 3.74-3.94 (Some ranges vary by source; Tanzania = 3.79-3.80; North Carolina, USA = 3.84-3.89; Zimbabwe = 3.83-3.89)

  • Cleavage: None; Sometimes indistinct parting

  • Fracture: Conchoidal

  • Streak: White

  • Luminescence: None

  • Pleochroism: None

  • Optical effects: Rarely asterism; Rarely color-changing

  • Dispersion: 0.026

Though rhodolite is a variety in itself, it also has some subtypes.

Types of Rhodolite

The first rhodolite subtype is grape garnet, which has a deep purple hue from traces of iron and magnesium. 

Next, we have Umbalite garnet

Sourced from the Umba River Valley in Tanzania, Umbalite garnet is a pinkish-red, purple-pink, or purplish-red rhodolite with brighter coloring than most rhodolites. Some call this high-quality subtype the “The King of Rhodolite.”

Moving into optical-effect subtypes, let’s start with color-changing rhodolite

Many garnets can be color-changing , including rhodolite. Color-changing rhodolites appear blue in daylight and purplish-red under incandescent lighting.

Last, we have star rhodolite garnet

This subtype displays asterism, an optical effect where you’ll see a multi-rayed reflection of light on the surface, creating a star shape. The star may have 4 or 6 rays, with some specimens showing both 4- and 6-rayed reflections from different angles. Asterism is rare for rhodolites, though.

Rhodolite Garnet Meaning & History

Rhodolite symbolizes love, empathy, and generosity. As a 2nd anniversary gem, this garnet represents an undying flame of love for couples. 

You may know that garnet is one of the first known gemstones, dating back centuries. That amount of history has lended many interpretations of rhodolite garnet’s spiritual meaning. 

Historically, garnets represented light (both spiritually and literally), life, and protection. Today, rhodolite holds similar meanings, representing friendship, commitment, and passion. 

History

Rhodolite is a more modern find. American mineralogist William Earl Hidden first heard about a new garnet in North Carolina, USA, from reports by local mineralogist A.M. Field in 1893 and 1897. 

Field believed the stones were an almandine variety. Hidden and his colleague Dr. J.H. Pratt analyzed the stones and published their findings in 1898, proposing the name “rhodolite” and confirming the composition was a pyrope-almandine hybrid instead.

Rhodolite’s name likely comes from the Greek rhodon, meaning “rose” or “rose-colored.” Some theorize that the name instead comes from the rhododendron flower, which resembles rhodolite in color. 

It’s important to note that the term “rhodolite” isn’t an official mineralogical name. Rather, it’s a popular trade name that has stuck for marketing pyrope-almandine garnets. 

Rhodolite Variety Discoveries

In 1978, Tanzania miners made the first discovery of Umbalite garnet in the Umba River Valley. 

Color-changing garnets found in Tanzania’s Morogoro region in 1988 were thought to be rhodolites for years, but later analysis proved they were actually a pyrope-spessartite hybrid.

Shifting from history to healing, what is rhodolite good for?

Rhodolite Healing Properties

Like all crystals, rhodolite can function as a healing stone

Red rhodolite, like other red gemstones, boost strength, passion, and courage. Purple rhodolites like grape garnet join other purple gems in promoting spiritual wisdom and self-awareness. Meanwhile, pink stones like raspberry rhodolite encourage unconditional love of yourself and others. 

Physical Healing

Crystal healers recommend rhodolite for treating:

  • Heart problems

  • Lung problems

  • Hemorrhages

  • Hip issues

  • Poor blood circulation

Emotional Healing

Emotionally, rhodolite stone benefits anyone who has gone through trauma. It’s said to help you heal from guilt, negative memories, and self-doubt. 

For those in relationships, rhodolite is believed to enhance intimacy, turn up the romance, and prevent resentment or jealousy. 

Chakra Healing

Rhodolite is a chakra stone for the root, heart, and crown chakras. By harmonizing these three chakras, rhodolite brings you a combination of stability, emotional awareness, and spiritual ascension.

Rhodolite Gemstone Properties

The value of rhodolite is based on its color, cut, clarity, and carat weight. We’ll also discuss treatments and synthetics. 

Color

Rhodolite garnet color ranges from pink to red to purple, with various shades in between, conjuring comparisons to amethyst and ruby. 

Rhodolite’s red is typically lighter than other, too-dark red garnets. However, it’s better known for its raspberry and purplish-red colors. 

For grape garnets, pure purple hues are more valuable than redder hues. 

Other impurities that can affect rhodolite’s color are vanadium and chromium. Higher amounts of spessartite in the composition can lighten the color. High heat can also change the color, but we’ll discuss that more in the Treatments section.  

Cut

Most rhodolites available on the jewelry market are faceted, which helps bring out their excellent sparkle (a.k.a. brilliance). Round, pear, and oval shapes are most common, but you’ll also see various fancy cuts like the StarBrite™ cut or “Rhodolite Rose” cut. 

Jewelers may also cut rhodolites into cabochons. Specimens displaying asterism must be cut as cabochons to properly show the effect. Rhodolites may be cut into carvings or beads as well.

Clarity

Rhodolites typically have great clarity, with a Type II colored gemstone clarity grade, meaning few to no visible inclusions the naked eye. Under magnification, you’ll see small crystal inclusions in many rhodolites. 

Specific possible inclusions include:

  • Needle-like rutile crystals

  • Irregular, rounded apatite or zircon crystals

  • Zircon crystals with stain “halos” 

Some inclusions produce optical effects, like fibrous bunches of rutile inclusions behind star rhodolite’s asterism. 

Carat Weight

Rhodolites can be found in huge sizes, but the size varies by source. North Carolina rhodolite gems are only 1-2 carats, while African rhodolite gems can be 75+ carats. 

The largest known star rhodolite garnet is a 15.6-carat cabochon from Kangala Mine, Tanzania. Among the largest faceted rhodolites is a 86.4-carat gem, also from Tanzania. 

In terms of cost, price-per-carat rates increase for faceted rhodolites under 1 carat, from 1-10 carats, and over 10 carats. 

Treatments

Rhodolites are very rarely treated, but experiments have been done. In 1997, heat made rhodolites brownish-red or orange and left a metallic coating. Further tests have shown that heating rhodolites to 600°C (1112°F) makes them change from purple to brown (resembling hessonite) in an irreversible process. 

Pyrope-almandine garnets treated to have a metallic coating used to be sold as “Proteus garnets.” They were named after the shape-shifting Greek sea god, Proteus, because they had a dark, metallic luster (resembling hematite) in reflected light but a dark red appearance in transmitted light. 

Synthetics & Simulants

Synthetic rhodolites have been created via hydrothermal growth for research. Some may show up in the gem market, but this is uncommon.

You may see rhodolite simulants — similar-looking stones with different chemical properties — sold as “synthetic rhodolite.” 

Common rhodolite simulants are cubic zirconia or colored glass. 

Back to nature, how does rhodolite form?

Rhodolite Formation & Sources

Rhodolite forms like most garnets. High-aluminum sedimentary rocks undergo metamorphism via heat and pressure, altering the minerals inside into new minerals like rhodolite. 

Almandine garnets are found in metamorphic rocks like mica schists or igneous rocks like pegmatites. Pyrope garnets are similarly found in igneous rocks like kimberlite.

Geographically, where is rhodolite found?   

Mining Locations

The best sources for finding rhodolite gemstone material are Brazil, India, Madagascar, Sri Lanka, Tanzania, and Zimbabwe. 

North Carolina, USA is a notable source for rhodolites with specific density and refractive index measurements, but produces much fewer rhodolites now than in the past. 

Additional important sources for gem-quality rhodolites are:

  • Afghanistan

  • Austria

  • Canada

  • China

  • Ethiopia

  • Kenya

  • Mozambique

  • Myanmar

  • Norway

  • Russia

  • USA (Alaska)

Umbalite garnets come from the eponymous Umba River Valley in Tanzania. Tanzania is also home to color-changing rhodolites, specifically from the North Pare Mountains. 

Meanwhile, East Africa (including Tanzania) is where many star rhodolite garnets come from, while Brazil and India produce most grape garnets. 

Sources aside, is rhodolite an expensive stone? We’ll discuss that next.

Rhodolite Garnet Price & Value

Rhodolite can be pricey, but it’s more affordable than rubies or rarer garnets. Generally, the rhodolite garnet price per carat starts at $20 per carat and reaches roughly $300 per carat. 

Here are the general prices for faceted rhodolites by carat weight:

  • 0.5 to 1 carat: $20-$100 per carat

  • 1 to 10 carats: $20-$150 per carat

  • 10+ carats: $40-$300 per carat

Next are the prices for rhodolite cabochons by carat weight:

  • 0.5 to 1 carat: $4-$6 per carat

  • 1 to 10 carats: $5-$30 per carat

  • 10+ carats: $5-$40 per carat

Rough rhodolite specimens are the least expensive, ranging from $0.70-$8 per carat at wholesale. 

Rhodolite Care and Maintenance

Rhodolite’s durability and lack of cleavage makes gemstone care pretty simple. They’re durable enough for everyday wear, though you may want protective settings for a rhodolite garnet ring. 

Hidden inclusions can be a risk, though. Extreme heat or ultrasound cleaners can make tiny inclusions burst, so avoid mechanical cleaning.

Instead, clean rhodolite with a soft toothbrush, mild soap, and lukewarm water. Store away from other gems.

关于红榴石石榴石

红榴石石榴石是一种半宝石,虽然它通常类似于宝石红宝石。事实上,红榴石的一些昵称包括:

  • 亚利桑那红宝石

  • 蒙大拿红宝石

  • 新墨西哥红宝石

当然,红榴石和红宝石是不同的宝石。

红榴石石榴石与红宝石之间的主要区别在于它们的成分、硬度、价格和稀有性。红宝石是一种刚玉宝石,其莫氏矿物硬度等级为 9,高于红榴石。红宝石也比红榴石更稀有、更昂贵。

由于红榴石价格较低,因此作为传统的七月生日石,它是红宝石的经济实惠替代品。就个人而言,红榴石与所有石榴石一样,是一月生日石、摩羯座或水瓶座、 生肖石结婚 2 周年纪念宝石。

关于常见的混淆,蔷薇辉石经常与蔷薇辉石混淆。蔷薇辉石是一种不透明的玫瑰红色链硅酸锰宝石,通常带有黑色至棕色的脉纹或斑点。

红榴石规格和特性

石榴石矿物族谱复杂。主要系列是 pyralspite - 镁铝榴石铁铝榴石锰铝榴石- 和 ugrandite - uvarovitegrossular和 andradite。每个物种都有自己的变种,尽管许多变种是杂交种。

红榴石是镁铝榴石和铁铝榴石的混合物,因此得名“吡喃石”。石头的分子式是 (Fe,Mg)3Al2Si3O12。

传统上,红榴石被认为是 1 份铁铝榴石和 2 份镁铝榴石。现代宝石学资源列出的比例为 3 份铁铝榴石与 7 份镁铝榴石。

然而,锰铝榴石和钙铝榴石等其他物种的痕迹在流纹石中很常见,并且镁铝榴石与铁铝榴石的比例可能因不同的流纹石而异。

您或许可以使用磁铁将红榴石与外观相似的宝石区分开来,因为红榴石柘榴石具有强到非常强的磁性。

以下是其余的红榴石特性:

  • 莫氏硬度:7-7.5

  • 颜色:粉红色、红色和紫色之间的浅色到深色,包括薰衣草粉色、覆盆子色、红色、紫紫色、紫红色、红紫色、紫罗兰色、红色

  • 晶体结构: 立方/等距

  • 光泽:玻璃状(玻璃状)

  • 透明度:半透明到透明

  • 折射率:1.745-1.795(某些范围因来源而异;坦桑尼亚 = 1.745-1.760;美国北卡罗来纳州 = 1.760-1.761;津巴布韦 = 1.750-1.760)

  • 密度:3.74-3.94(某些范围因来源而异;坦桑尼亚 = 3.79-3.80;美国北卡罗来纳州 = 3.84-3.89;津巴布韦 = 3.83-3.89)

  • 乳沟: 无;有时若隐若现的离别

  • 断口: 贝壳状

  • 条纹:白色

  • 发光: 无

  • 多色性:无

  • 光学效应: 很少有星光;很少变色

  • 色散:0.026

虽然红榴石本身是一个品种,但它也有一些亚型。

红榴石宝石品种——紫葡萄石榴石上图:葡萄石榴石

红榴石的种类

第一个红榴石亚型是葡萄石榴石,它因微量铁和镁而呈现深紫色。

接下来,我们有Umbalite 石榴石

Umbalite 石榴石产自坦桑尼亚的 Umba 河谷,是一种粉红色、紫粉红色或紫红色的流纹石,颜色比大多数流纹石更亮。有人称这种优质亚型为“红榴石之王”。

进入光学效应子类型,让我们从变色红榴石开始。

许多石榴石可以变色,包括红榴石。变色流变石在日光下呈蓝色,在白炽灯下呈紫红色。

最后,我们有星光石榴石

此子类型显示星光,这是一种光学效果,您会在表面上看到光的多射线反射,从而形成星形。这颗恒星可能有 4 条或 6 条射线,一些标本从不同角度显示出 4 条6 条射线的反射。不过,流星石很少见星光。

红榴石石榴石的意义和历史

红榴石象征着爱、同理心和慷慨。作为结婚两周年的宝石,这颗石榴石代表着情侣之间不灭的爱火。

您可能知道石榴石是最早为人所知的宝石之一,其历史可以追溯到几个世纪前。如此悠久的历史为榴石石榴石的精神意义提供了许多解释。

从历史上看,石榴石代表光(精神上和字面上)、生命和保护。今天,红榴石具有相似的含义,代表友谊、承诺和激情。

历史

红榴石是一种更现代的发现。美国矿物学家 William Earl Hidden 于 1893 年和 1897 年从当地矿物学家 AM Field 的报告中首次听说美国北卡罗来纳州有一种新的石榴石。

菲尔德认为这些宝石是一种铁铝榴石。 Hidden 和他的同事 JH Pratt 博士分析了这些石头并于 1898 年发表了他们的发现,提出了“红榴石”的名称,并确认该成分是镁铝榴石-铁铝榴石的混合物。

Rhodolite 的名字可能来自希腊语rhodon ,意思是“玫瑰”或“玫瑰色”。一些理论认为这个名字来自杜鹃花,它的颜色类似于红榴石。

请务必注意,术语“红榴石”并不是官方的矿物学名称。相反,它是一个流行的商品名称,一直用于营销镁铝榴石-铁铝榴石石榴石。

红榴石品种发现

1978年,坦桑尼亚矿工在乌姆巴河谷首次发现了乌姆巴石榴石。

1988 年在坦桑尼亚莫罗戈罗地区发现的变色石榴石多年来一直被认为是红榴石,但后来的分析证明它们实际上是镁铝榴石和锰铝榴石的混合体。

从历史转向治愈,红榴石有什么用处?

红榴石石榴石治疗石

红榴石的治疗特性

与所有水晶一样,红榴石可以用作治疗石

与其他红色宝石一样,红色红榴石可增强力量、激情和勇气。像葡萄石榴石这样的紫色红榴石与其他紫色宝石一起提升灵性智慧和自我意识。同时,覆盆子红榴石等粉红色宝石鼓励对自己和他人无条件的爱。

身体治疗

水晶治疗师推荐红榴石用于治疗:

  • 心脏问题

  • 肺部问题

  • 出血

  • 臀部问题

  • 血液循环不畅

情绪疗愈

在情感上,红榴石对任何经历过创伤的人都有好处。据说它可以帮助您从内疚、负面记忆和自我怀疑中恢复过来。

对于人际关系中的人来说,红榴石被认为可以增强亲密感、营造浪漫气氛并防止怨恨或嫉妒。

脉轮疗愈

红榴石是根脉轮、心脏脉轮和冠脉轮的脉轮石。通过协调这三个脉轮,玫瑰石为您带来稳定性、情感意识和精神提升的组合。

紫色红榴石石榴石宝石刻面

红榴石宝石属性

红榴石的价值基于其颜色、切工、净度和克拉重量。我们还将讨论处理和合成材料。

颜色

红榴石石榴石的颜色范围从粉红色到红色再到紫色,中间有各种色调,让人联想到紫水晶和红宝石。

红榴石的红色通常比其他太暗的红色石榴石要浅。然而,它以覆盆子色和紫红色而闻名。

对于葡萄石榴石,纯紫色调比红色调更有价值。

其他会影响红榴石颜色的杂质是钒和铬。组合物中较高量的锰铝石可以使颜色变浅。高温也会改变颜色,但我们将在“处理”部分对此进行更多讨论。

珠宝市场上的大多数红榴石都是刻面的,这有助于展现其出色的闪光(又名光彩)。圆形、梨形和椭圆形最常见,但您也会看到各种花式切工,如 StarBrite™ 切工或“玫瑰石玫瑰”切工。

珠宝商也可以将流星石切割成圆形。显示星号的样品必须切割成凸圆形,以正确显示效果。红榴石也可以切割成雕刻品或珠子。

红榴石石榴石宝石戒指与钻石

明晰

红榴石通常具有很高的净度,具有 II 类有色宝石净度等级,这意味着肉眼几乎看不到内含物。在放大镜下,您会在许多流纹石中看到小的晶体内含物。

具体可能包含的内容包括:

一些内含物会产生光学效应,例如星状红榴石星光背后的纤维束金红石内含物

克拉重量

红榴石的尺寸很大,但尺寸因来源而异。北卡罗莱纳州的红榴石宝石只有 1-2 克拉,而非洲的红榴石宝石可达 75 克拉以上。

已知最大的星光榴石石榴石是一颗 15.6 克拉的凸圆形宝石,产自坦桑尼亚的 Kangala 矿。最大的刻面红榴石中有一颗 86.4 克拉的宝石,也来自坦桑尼亚。

在成本方面,1 克拉以下的刻面红榴石的每克拉价格从 1-10 克拉和 10 克拉以上增加。

疗程

红榴石很少被处理,但已经进行了实验。 1997 年,高温使流星石变成棕红色或橙色,并留下金属涂层。进一步的测试表明,将流纹石加热到 600°C(1112°F)会使它们在不可逆的过程中从紫色变为棕色(类似于金黄榴石)。

经过处理并具有金属涂层的镁铝榴石石榴石曾作为“变形石榴石”出售。它们以会变形的希腊海神 Proteus 命名,因为它们在反射光下具有深色金属光泽(类似于赤铁矿),但在透射光下呈暗红色。

合成材料和模拟物

合成流纹石是通过热液生长产生的,用于研究。有些可能会出现在宝石市场上,但这并不常见。

您可能会看到红榴石仿制品——外观相似但化学性质不同的石头——作为“合成红榴石”出售。

常见的红榴石模拟物是立方氧化锆或彩色玻璃。

回归自然,红榴石是如何形成的?

红榴石石榴石宝石原石晶体标本

红榴石的形成和来源

红榴石的形状与大多数石榴石相似。高铝沉积岩通过热量和压力发生变质作用,将内部的矿物质转变为新的矿物质,如红榴石。

铁铝榴石石榴石存在于云母片岩等变质岩或伟晶岩等火成岩中。红榴石石榴石同样存在于金伯利岩等火成岩中。

从地理上讲,在哪里可以找到红榴石?

采矿地点

寻找红榴石宝石材料的最佳来源是巴西、印度、马达加斯加、斯里兰卡、坦桑尼亚和津巴布韦。

美国北卡罗来纳州是具有特定密度和折射率测量值的流纹石的著名产地,但现在生产的流纹石比过去少得多。

宝石级红榴石的其他重要来源是:

  • 阿富汗

  • 奥地利

  • 加拿大

  • 中国

  • 埃塞俄比亚

  • 肯尼亚

  • 莫桑比克

  • 缅甸

  • 挪威

  • 俄罗斯

  • 美国(阿拉斯加)

Umbalite 石榴石产自坦桑尼亚同名的 Umba 河谷。坦桑尼亚也是变色流纹石的故乡,特别是来自北帕雷山脉。

同时,东非(包括坦桑尼亚)是许多星光石榴石的产地,而巴西和印度出产葡萄石榴石最多。

除了来源,红榴石是一种昂贵的石头吗?我们接下来会讨论这个。

红榴石石榴石的价格和价值

红榴石价格昂贵,但比红宝石或更稀有的石榴石更实惠。一般来说,红榴石每克拉的价格从每克拉 20 美元起,最高可达每克拉 300 美元左右。

以下是按克拉重量计算的刻面红榴石的一般价格:

  • 0.5 至 1 克拉:每克拉 20-100 美元

  • 1 至 10 克拉:每克拉 20-150 美元

  • 10 克拉以上:每克拉 40-300 美元

接下来是按克拉重量计算的凸圆形红榴石价格:

  • 0.5 至 1 克拉:每克拉 4-6 美元

  • 1 至 10 克拉:每克拉 5-30 美元

  • 10 克拉以上:每克拉 5-40 美元

红榴石原石标本最便宜,批发价为每克拉 0.70-8 美元。

红榴石保养和维护

红榴石的耐用性和无解理使宝石护理变得非常简单。它们经久耐用,适合日常佩戴,但您可能需要为红榴石石榴石戒指提供保护性镶嵌

不过,隐藏的夹杂物可能存在风险。极热或超声波清洁器会使微小的夹杂物爆裂,因此请避免机械清洁。

相反,用软牙刷、温和的肥皂和温水清洁红榴石。远离其他宝石存放。
