Rhodolite

Garnets are associated with the color red, but they actually are available in a variety of colors. Rhodolite Garnets are actually composed of pyrope and almandite; this variety of Garnet is fairly scarce.

The most desired hue is Purple Pink, often called raspberry red. These gemstones are durable and well suited for virtually all jewelry settings. Garnets are singularly refractive and typically have excellent clarity.
