RED STONE
All natural nuggets of red and pink shades, mined in mines, were called by the term “lal” in the Middle Ages (after the name of the Pamir Kuhi-Lal deposit, in which a red mineral stone was first found). In ancient manuscripts, red crystals are described by healers with the following sentence: “Useful as a remedy for flushed cheeks, a healthy stomach, and sharp eyes.”
The “pink” mineral helps treat depression, low emotional mood, and mental disorders. The clear transparent stone reflects sunlight and emits its own energy waves, which pleases the eye and reduces anxiety and fatigue in stressful situations or during overwork.Healers who study rhodolite and its properties claim that it can boost immunity, protect against viruses and dangerous bacteria, and even help in the treatment of cancer.

COLOR
Natural pebbles with an alexandrite effect are especially valued because they can create paradoxical optical effects. The color of the crystal depends on the type of lighting. In artificial light, the stone appears pink, and in natural light, greenish. This unique property is very rare and is therefore valued in jewelry art.
Transparent pink garnet has a high refractive index, so the cut stone "comes to life" in daylight under natural light. Single crystals used in jewelry have the following “berry” color gradation:
Experienced experts say that all types of pink garnet semi-precious stones can be used as inserts in jewelry. Opaque rhodolites are ornamental gemstones suitable for the production of figurines, crossbars, lids, and other decorative design elements.
SITE
Natural crystals of the mineral, exhibiting a vitreous luster, are found in quarries in the form of phenocrysts of mountain abrasive material. Large nuggets are very rare - rhodoliths usually have a low weight. Pomegranate crystals are very similar to the seeds of the fruit (pomegranate), which is why they are considered “living” symbols of fertility.
- World deposits – “pomegranate mines” are located in mountainous regions in African countries, on the island of Sri Lanka, and in Australia.
- In Russia, the mineral is mined near the town of Polevskoy (Ural). The deposit has been developing since XNUMX. century.
- In the depths of Azov Mountain, which is highly sought after by tourists, according to legend unspeakable treasures are hidden, and among the gemstones found there is also rhodolite. The stones were found in mines developed on the Kola Peninsula, in Karelia, and in Yakutia. Ural rhodolites are not particularly sought after among jewelers, but magicians believe that a gemstone obtained in these places has a special energy. It is stronger than other stones mined, for example, in Africa or America.
HISTORY AND TRADITION
Rhodolite is a rare stone that was long passed off as garnet, from which it is mined. In fact, the gemstone is a variety of pyrope, a silicate from the garnet group. Pyrope most often has a dark red hue, while rhodolite is in most cases pink or light red.
The name of the gemstone, translated from Greek, means the compound phrase “Rodon - Rose” and “Lithos - Stone”. A fossil gemstone mined in mountain quarries naturally resembles a frozen mythical stone flower.Official registration as a separate type of gemstone did not take place until 1959, thanks to the efforts of B. Anderson. The American mineralogist insisted that the gemstone is not a pomegranate; it is incorrect to call it pyrope, they are different stones.
- The great conqueror Alexander the Great, who ruled in ancient Greece, kept unique precious stones in his treasuries, among which were gems - natural crystals with carved images.
- Rhodolite inserts, like other varieties of garnet, are used to decorate the legendary royal cup “the Hungarian Kelykh” dating from the sixteenth century.
- The ancient Greeks compared it to a rose, and medieval jewelers used it to decorate cups and other tableware intended for special occasions.
- In Russia, stones with a red or pink hue were called “lalas”. The color of the mineral is truly unusual, an intense pink, very bright. There are almost no overflows, but there are clearly visible cracks, the presence of which is not considered a defect.
- The largest rhodolite was found in Africa, weighs only 73 carats, which is just over 14.5 g. The weight of the second largest mineral found in this variety of pyrope is 8.6 g.
PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
The crystal has an “appealing” berry color, which depends on the mineral impurities present in the “body” of the stone. The value of the extracted raw materials is determined by the color saturation and the transparency of the stone material itself. Rare purple or “deep” pink shades are highly favored among professional jewelers for the creation of brooches, rings, and other exclusive designer sets, as well as accessories.
