Rhodolite Garnet Feather Ring | Sterling Silver

While it might be common belief that all garnet is red, like almandine (a deep red, purplish-red, reddish-purple, or brownish-red color) and rhodolite (an intensely saturated purplish-red to vivid pinkish-red color), this is nothing more than a misconception. There are a wide variety of garnet species with stones coming in every color, including stones that visibly change color under different lighting conditions. For example, hessonite garnet is an orange-brown to honey-yellow variety, and is moderately common. Others, like the brilliant green "tsavorite" and "demantoid" varieties, are far more rare, commanding higher prices in the trade.

Because the term "garnet" does not refer to one single species of stone, care instructions vary. Green demantoid garnet requires the most care, sitting at 6.5 on the Mohs scale of hardness. Red almandite and pyrope, orange spessartite, and green tsavorite are known to be harder varieties, ranking a durable 7.5 on the hardness scale. While other varieties fall somewhere in between, most are durable enough to wear without any special care or mind. Garnet jewelry can safely be cleaned in chemical jewelry cleaner unless otherwise noted on the label.
