The name 'Rhodolite' derives from the Greek words 'Rho-Don' and 'Lithos', literally translated meaning 'Rose Stone'. Possessing a color reminiscent of the rhododendron flower, this name was first used in the late 19th century to describe garnets discovered in North Carolina. Uniquely striking, Rhodolite is the varietal name for the naturally occurring blend of rose-pink Almandine and red Pyrope Garnets found in Macon County, North Carolina. While raspberry is the most prized color, Rhodolite is also found in shades of pink through lavender. From the svelte necklines of Abyssinian princesses to the powdered décolletages of Marie Antoinette, the captivating mystique of garnets has made them a timeless symbol of feminine beauty. The imaginative lure of this ‘Queen of Gems’ intoxicates the senses. Garnet, from the Latin word for seed, ‘Granatus’, with a history spanning more than 5,000 years, was named due to its color similarity to pomegranate seeds. Pomegranate's associated symbolism with Garnets has been longstanding. Interestingly, several ancient jewelry items have been unearthed, studded with tiny red garnets in cluster-like patterns reminiscent of pomegranates, which are closely associated with eternity in Greek mythology.
