  1. rhodolite

    Rhodolite is a variety of mineral, specifically a type of garnet, known for its rose-red or pinkish-purple color. It is often used as a semi-precious gemstone in jewelry. Rhodolite garnets are found in metamorphic rocks and are often transparent to translucent. They are named after the flower Rhododendron because of their color resemblance.

Wikidata

  1. Rhodolite

    Rhodolite is a varietal name for rose-pink to red mineral pyrope, a species in the garnet group. It is found in Cowee Valley, Macon County, North Carolina. The name is derived from the Greek for "rose-like", in common with many pink mineral types, but rhodolite itself is not officially recognised as a mineralogical term. This colouration, and the commonly inclusion-free nature of garnet from this locality, has led to rhodolite being used as a semi-precious gemstone. Chemically, rhodolite is an iron-magnesium-aluminium silicate, part of the pyrope-almandine solid-solution series, with an approximate garnet composition of Py70Al30.
