Species/Variety: Garnet/Rhodolite. This identifies the gemstone as a Rhodolite garnet, a variety within the garnet family known for its purplish-red to purplish-pink hues.
Weight: 2.86 carats. This is a good size for a Rhodolite, making it suitable for a variety of jewelry settings.
Size: 8.0 x 5.0 mm. These dimensions provide a clear understanding of the gemstone’s proportions.
Color: Purple. This description highlights the stone’s distinct purple hue, which is a desirable coloration in Rhodolite garnets.
Clarity: Eye Clean. This is a highly valued characteristic, indicating that the gemstone is free from inclusions visible to the naked eye.
Shape: Rectangle. The rectangular shape is a less common cut for Rhodolite, adding to its unique appeal. This shape makes it ideal for many different setting designs.

The fact that it is a “new find” gives it even more character.
Also the phrase “Also some times called bishops Garnet due to the royal purple color” adds a nice colorful bit of history to the description.

Working with Peter
I have been working with Peter to find the perfect stone, he is so honest and kind! He is amazing at answering every question (and I have a lot of questions) I am honestly thankful for his patience in my search of the perfect stone. It is refreshing to work with someone who truly cares about me and what I want in a gemstone. I am sold with this seller will not buy from another! When it comes to excellent customer service this is top notch and definitely the place to buy all your precious treasures. Thank you Peter! 🙂

Professional service
Smooth transaction, good communication from the seller. This is a highly professional service dealing in high quality gemstones. The two large, rare and very hard to get hold of gems I purchased were exactly as described so couldn't be better. I don't usually buy gemstones online but I took a chance due to the rarities on offer and after Peter came back to me on email with such obvious expertise. Very glad I did.
