Rhodolite is a beautiful variety of garnet, formed within metamorphic rocks such as schist and gneiss. It typically displays vibrant shades of rose-red to purplish-red, with a brilliant vitreous lustre that gives it exceptional sparkle when cut as a gem. In folklore, Rhodolite has long symbolised love, protection, and emotional warmth. Metaphysically, it is believed to inspire confidence, vitality, and compassion. The stone is said to balance the heart and mind, encouraging joy, creativity, and positive emotional expression.
