RHODOLITE: A BRIEF HISTORY

From the Latin granatium which means pomegranate. As with many gemstone names, those in the garnet family evolved from Greek taxonomy. The suffix -ite at the end of gem names such as tsavorite is derived from the Greek litho, meaning stone. Famous for its prominent use in Victorian jewellery, where it was fashioned as 'roses', or cut in a dome-shaped form known as 'carbuncles'.

MEANING BEHIND THE STONE

Rhodolite is thought to be a stone of love and passion, awakening creativity, positive energy, and self-confidence.
