Properties of rhodolite and its compatibility with zodiac signs

History and origin

The name is given to the mineral due to its color: in Greek, rhodolite means “pink stone.” The mineral has been known since antiquity; it was valued by Alexander the Great (Macedonian). Large rhodoliths decorate the legendary “Hungarian Kelikh” (made at the beginning of the 16th century).

Rhodolite

It was long mistaken for spinel, ruby, garnet or garamantine and sold accordingly. It is no coincidence that another name for the stone is Cape ruby.

Rhodolite actually resembles garnet, but lighter and with purple or violet undertones. Transparent shiny crystals of rhodolite differ in appearance from rhodonite, a pink mineral similar in name, but opaque, dense matte mineral.

Rhodonite has been classified as a gemstone in its own right since 1959, thanks to the renowned mineralogist B. Anderson. Its ease of processing has made it a favorite of stone cutters. Back in the 19th century, vases were decorated with gemstones.

Astrological nuances

The patron planet of rhodolite is Mars. Therefore, the greatest “affinity” with the Cape ruby ​​(according to the zodiac sign) is shown by the fiery children of the star circle - Leo, Aries, Sagittarius. Rhodolite is also suitable for those born in January. This is the month of the Cape Ruby.

In addition to Mars, the “Cape ruby” is favored by Mercury and Pluto. Therefore, jewelry with a pink garnet will suit Gemini.

It is not advisable for Taurus to wear rhodolite. He will not be able to harm, but the magic of this stone is inaccessible to Taurus who stands firmly on his feet. For Aquarius and Libra (their night patron Mercury), the Cape ruby ​​will not refuse magical help.

With Scorpios, Pisces, Cancers it is more difficult. Their element is clearly contrary to Fire. Rhodolite will not harm them, but one cannot count on much magical help here either.

Physicochemical characteristics

Rhodolite is an aluminosilicate with a high percentage of iron and magnesium. A type of pyrope, a mineral from the garnet group. The dimensions of the stone do not exceed 2 cm; the discovery of a larger crystal is rare. A range of shades from tea rose to deep purple. Precious or semi-precious stone.

Main characteristics

Color and shimmer

Rhodolites are one of the most beautiful types of garnet. They are most often colored pink or a rich purple hue. Stones of rich strawberry color are much less common. They are mined exclusively from Tanzanian deposits. An inexperienced person can easily confuse them with garnets or rubies.

Natural crystals are rarely absolutely pure. Almost all of them are covered with various cracks or inclusions, which are not a reason for rejection. Such “imperfections,” on the contrary, impart a unique charm, creating interesting refractions of light rays.

The quality level of crystals is determined depending on their purity, color and size.

Chemical composition and digital data

Externally, rhodolite is very similar to garnet. However, it has different physical characteristics, and therefore differs from other varieties and the pomegranate itself.

Introducing rhodolite and its properties:

• mineral formula - Mg3Al2(SiO4)3;
• dispersion is higher than that of a diamond – 0.025;
• refraction of light - 1.761;
• density – 3.90 g per cubic meter. cm;
• cubic system;
• glass shine with unusual tints;
• On the Moss scale, the hardness is 7.5 points.

When processed, the stones do not crumble or chip, and are easy to polish.

Alexandrite effect

Rhodolites change color depending on the angle at which the light hits them. Also, their appearance differs in natural and electric lighting.

To learn more about the alexandrite effect, read the article “Alexandrite: properties of the stone and who it suits according to the zodiac sign.”

Place of extraction

Jewelry-quality pink raw materials are mined in the mountainous regions of Africa (Tanzania, Kenya, Zimbabwe) and Sri Lanka. Only in Tanzania can you find the most expensive strawberry-colored specimens. The stone is found in the USA, Australia, and Scandinavian countries.

Russian rhodolite deposits are concentrated in the Urals. One of the centers of mineral extraction is the city of Polevskoy, 40 km from Yekaterinburg. Development here has been going on since the 18th century, and the local tourist attraction is Azov Mountain, which, according to legend, stores countless gem treasures. There are deposits in the north-west (Kola Peninsula, Karelia) and in Yakutia. Their jewelry quality is lower, but the energy potential of the Ural mineral is the most powerful.

Pink stone

Historical reference

Rhodolite (translated from Greek as “pink stone”) has been known to people since ancient times. But previously, depending on the shade, the crystal was often passed off as spinel, garnet or garamantine. Due to their external similarity, people simply did not distinguish between these stones.

In 1959, the famous scientist Anderson proved that rhodolite stone is an independent type of mineral. This is one of the varieties of pyrope, and pyrope, in turn, is a type of pomegranate. It is described in the article “Garnet stone: properties of the mineral and who it is suitable for.”

The largest crystal

In most countries, rhodolites are classified as precious stones. Their main area of ​​application is the production of jewelry. This gemstone is versatile and looks great in men's and women's jewelry.

Rhodolites are usually small in size. The largest stone known to mankind weighs 43.3 carats. For these crystals, purity depends on size: the larger the stone, the lower the quality. During cutting, this large specimen lost a lot of weight and its weight was about 14 carats.

Not to be confused with amethyst

Stones of this type with a deep purple tint are sometimes called “amethyst rhodolites.” This is absolutely not true.

Amethyst belongs to the “quartz” family (quartz is a common rock-forming mineral), and rhodolite belongs to garnets. Therefore, you should not confuse these stones.

Where is it mined?

The most famous deposits of rhodolite are located in Tanzania. This sunny country produces high-quality stones that are most valued. There are also deposits of the mineral in America, Scandinavia, Kenya and Zimbabwe.

Rhodolite is also mined in Karelia and the Kola Peninsula (Russia), but in terms of purity and richness of color it is often inferior to Asian and African specimens.

• Gastrointestinal tract: gastritis, ulcers, sluggish metabolism or functioning of the digestive system, poisoning;
• liver, thyroid, pancreas;
• female ailments, problems with conceiving or bearing a fetus;

It is a tool for magicians and spiritualists for meditation. In the East, rhodolite is a symbol of illusion; in European magic it is valued for its ability to awaken dormant talents, providing the owner with prosperity and respect.

Rhodolite and magic

The magical properties of rhodolite made it famous in the world of witches and wizards. The fire stone can become an excellent talisman and amulet. It all depends on who is wearing it and how they are going to use it.

Its useful qualities:

• Garnet, which is essentially rhodolite, has long been considered a love talisman. Magicians believe that he is able to bewitch a man. Although perhaps the truth is that the red crystal simply emphasizes female sexuality, which influences the attraction of the opposite sex.
• At all times, it was customary to defend against evil spirits with fire. Women suspected of witchcraft were burned at the stake, and to cleanse the home, all rooms had to be walked around with a candle in hand. The fiery energy of rhodolite is also capable of scaring away evil. The stone can protect an individual or his entire family.
• The red crystal is also associated with the fire of the hearth. If you leave a product made from such a gem in the common room, there will be fewer quarrels in the family and more joy and happiness.
• The stone leads its owner to success. He won't do all the work for him, no. But it will direct you in the right direction, give you strength and confidence. Such a talisman will be needed by those who decided to open their own business and wanted to get creative.

Possessing a large reserve of power, rhodolite is still capable of exhausting itself. No fire, contrary to legends and folk tales, burns forever. Regularly feeding the stone with energy will deplete its reserves.

A rhodolite talisman is considered universal. It suits both men and women equally well. When choosing, it is more important to consider not gender, but energy compatibility.

So at one moment it may simply break. Sometimes in the most literal sense - to split. There's no point in worrying about the loss. You should say goodbye to the talisman, thank him for his help and simply get a new assistant.

According to the zodiac sign, Rhodolite is suitable for Leo or Sagittarius.

He will reward the self-sufficient “king of beasts” with internal harmony, understanding of people and tolerance. Sagittarius will become stronger, more passionate, more confident. They will find a soul mate or life's work.

It should be noted that the mineral will not harm other zodiac signs. Rhodolite will show its potential to every person, but not as much as for Leo and Sagittarius.

Where is it used?

The only area of ​​use of rhodolite is jewelry.

The main evaluation criteria are the size and color of the crystal. Cracks or inclusions do not devalue the stone.

Pendant with rhodolite

The most expensive are specimens of bright red color, “strawberry” Tanzanian rhodolites and a variety with an alexandrite effect: rich crimson stones in artificial light and greenish in the sun.

The frame is used in silver or gold. The mineral in such a frame looks richer and reveals its magical and healing properties to the maximum.

Rhodolite jewelry is available for women and men. For clear crystals, step, diamond or oval cuts are used. Poorer quality specimens are awarded a cabochon. Products with expensive designer cut stones are made to order.

The price of the gem is constantly rising: from $100 per carat in 1977 to $300 five years later. Today, stones weighing up to a carat are valued at $2-4.5 per carat. The cost of high-quality crystals heavier than 20 carats is $35-210 per carat.

Colors and varieties of rhodolite stone

Rhodolite is very rich in shades.
In nature, there are rhodolites of various tones. They range from light pink to dark purple. There are stones of bright red color. However, they are rare. Special attention should be paid to the alexandrite effect inherent in the gem. If you look at it from different angles, its tone changes. In addition, the stone changes shade depending on the type of lighting.

How to spot a fake

Natural rhodolite is expensive, so it is counterfeited. Instead of stone, imitations made of glass and synthetic material are offered.

Natural rhodolite

A fake can be identified by the following features:

• perfectly clean structure, without turbidity or inclusions;
• smooth, defect-free surface;
• uniform coloring without color tints (Alexandrite effect);
• size larger than 1.5 cm.

The use of electronic scales is guaranteed to distinguish genuine rhodolite from glass. The mass of the sample is measured - the initial one and after bringing the magnet closer to it by about 1 cm. If it is different, it means the stone is real.

Artificial rhodolite in specialized salons is sold under the brands “gelliner”, “damonic” or “cyrolite”. Externally, the stone copies the original, but is devoid of magical and healing properties.

There were, are and will be fakes

Pliny the Elder wrote in his Natural History:

“There is no fraud or deception in the world that would bring more benefits than counterfeiting precious stones.”

Such a beautiful stone, of course, is faked.

In the 20th century, physicists and chemists obtained a synthetic garnet - YAG (yttrium aluminum garnet). Jewelers immediately began to use artificial gems. It was called daimonic, garnetite, tsirolite. If, when purchasing jewelry, you see these unknown names of the stone on the tag, just know that it is an artificial rhodolite.

Under the guise of rhodolite, they can sell ordinary glass, painted in the colors of “Cape ruby”. Such fakes differ from natural rhodolite in the complete absence of microcracks, inclusions, and microdefects. A regular magnifying glass with 10x magnification can help you see them in the body of the stone.

Take a closer look at the stone - soft tints of color, a combination of tones close to each other will help you distinguish a genuine gem.

Synthetic stones do not have halftone transitions or slight color inhomogeneity.

A very large gem should alert you. Small pyropes are common in nature. The stone, the size of a wild raspberry, is either fake or extremely rare.

How to wear and care

The energy of the stone is powerful, but beneficial for humans.

How to wear

The ladies' assortment of stone products is complete; the men's range includes cufflinks, a tie clip or a ring with inserts of muted colors.

Earrings with rhodolite and garnet

Jewelry with rhodolite can be worn by a person of any age; they are appropriate for any event and for any look. You just need to choose the shade of the stone. The younger the owner, the lighter the insert will suit her.

Aesthetically, the pink range is combined with white, transparent, green, and blue stones.

Frequent wearing of rhodolite is beneficial for health, especially if the gem is in contact with the body.

How to care

To ensure that delicate pink stones do not lose their beauty and richness of shades, they need proper care:

• wipe with a dry soft cloth;
• wash monthly in a warm saline or neutral soap solution, then rinse thoroughly and dry;
• hot water, brushing, squeezing or pressure are prohibited.

The mineral can fade in the sun, but loves shade.

Ring with rhodolite

The stone shares energy with a person, absorbs his aura, and therefore needs recharging and energy cleaning. To “refuel” it is best to place rhodolite on a lawn, flowerbed or meadow.

To buy or not to buy

The price per carat of rhodolite is constantly increasing. Now it has exceeded 200 US dollars for 0.2 grams of cut stone.

Purple rhodolite

Jewelry subtleties

Cape rubies are not valued as first class gems. The main thing for rhodolite is size and color. The purity of the crystal is practically not taken into account. And in some cases (when the stone is cut into a cabochon), microcracks and inclusions that are hardly noticeable to the eye are even useful. They help in the special play of color and color.

Educational: “strawberry” rhodolites are considered the most valuable. Until now, they have only been found in Tanzania.

The best specimens of rhodolite can have a fancy cut. The bulk of the crystals are cut into brilliant cuts or ovals.

The designer frame can be made of any precious metal - silver, gold, platinum.

Ordinary items are usually set in gold.

We buy, we don’t skimp

Products with rhodolite are not cheap. In the table we give the approximate cost of jewelry, and you decide whether the gem is worth it or not.

Prices are indicative. Somewhere it will be more expensive, somewhere cheaper. But for a thousand rubles a gold ring with rhodolite can only be bought in a dream.

Wearing Features

There are no strict rules for wearing rhodolite. The stone is suitable for both sexes. Men can wear tie clips with rhodolite inserts, cufflinks, and rings. Women have the opportunity to choose from a much larger number of products with rhodolite: rings, brooches, earrings, necklaces, bracelets, etc. The mineral is suitable for people of any age, but you need to pay attention to the color scheme. For example, young girls are more adorned with a light-colored stone. For older individuals, it is better to give preference to a dark-colored mineral.

Stones of laboratory origin and their specificity

There are also rhodolites grown artificially in gemological laboratories. In terms of quality and beauty, they are not inferior to natural garnets, but sometimes they look too decorative and “correct”, since they have an ideal crystal lattice, which becomes visible only after deep study using special instruments. The most famous laboratory stones are:

• cyrolites;
• Damonics;
• Helliners.

In their production, laboratory staff use different technologies. These are perfectly clean specimens, without cracks or chips, characteristic of stones formed in the natural environment. By the way, a synthetic sample can be grown very large, but this takes a lot of time.

Compatibility with other stones

When selecting jewelry with gems, the color of the mineral, the combination of patron planets, and elements are taken into account. Scarlet rhodolite is self-sufficient on its own and does not tolerate proximity. It is recommended to wear a set of jewelry for special occasions or complement the look with transparent, colorless minerals. There is no doubt about the compatibility of crystals of less saturated tones with gems of the elements of air, the planets Neptune, Uranus, Venus, Mercury, and Jupiter.

These include minerals:

• rhinestone;
• topaz;
• amber;
• pomegranate;
• ruby;
• hyacinth;
• diamond;
• amazonite;
• chrysolite;
• sapphire;
• Labrador.

Attention! Gems of the earth, water elements, planets Saturn, Pluto, Mars and the Moon are not compatible with rhodolite.

Story

The name of the most beautiful gem is Greek. The word translates as “pink stone.” However, in color it is more similar to the Chinese plum. Sometimes among natural crystals you come across lighter ones. Perhaps thanks to such rare specimens the name appeared.

The gem has long been popular. Previously, specialists had difficulties determining whether rhodolite belonged to any group. That is why it was often mistaken for other crystals.

There is information that this amulet was worn by the Macedonian himself. The stone stood in the commander's ring. The latter tried not to part with the magical attribute.

It is possible to distinguish rhodolite from other minerals, but it is often confused with different stones. These include spinel and some varieties of garnet. Some unscrupulous traders sometimes even try to sell the gem under the guise of a ruby.

How to care for rhodolite jewelry

In order for the stone to last as long as possible, it is necessary to clean it regularly with a dry cloth. It is recommended to wash the crystal once a month in soapy water or salt solution, and then dry thoroughly. The liquid should not be too hot. There is no need to scrub the stone with a brush or wash it intensively. It is better to keep rhodolite away from sunlight.

Periodically, the mineral must be saturated with the energy of nature, so you need to take it with you for a walk and put it in the grass or in the roots of trees for a few minutes.

The stone should be handled carefully and never dropped.

From the history

If we literally translate the name of the mineral from Greek, it will mean “pink stone.” Of course, it’s difficult to call it pink, because the shades are more reminiscent of Chinese plums. In natural conditions, pink garnet can be absolutely light and looks as if it has faded for a long time under the scorching rays of the sun. It is precisely because of the “fading” pink shade that it probably acquired its popular name.

People have long known about its existence and have used it since ancient times to create amazing jewelry and magical amulets. However, due to their similarity with other stones, pink garnetites have always been a source of confusion and funny situations: an inexperienced eye could easily confuse them even with rubies if they looked especially bright. Unscrupulous traders often took advantage of this.

One of the legends tells us that rhodolite and its properties were very fond of the commander Alexander the Great. He constantly wore a large ring with this mineral and did not want to part with it.

Rhodolite: what kind of stone is it? Only in 1959, a specialist in the field of mineralogy Anderson identified it as garnets and gave it the name that we know about now.

Healing properties of rhodolite

Even ancient healers believed that this luxurious stone could restore a person’s desire to live and could significantly strengthen his nervous system, relieving him of stress and depression.

Sometimes just looking at this crystal is enough to feel relief. Your mood will become even and even upbeat, you will forget about fatigue. Your sleep will be much better and you will feel energized every morning.

Wearing such an amulet will help overcome disorders of the respiratory system. You will protect yourself from colds and support your immune system, which is especially important during flu epidemics.

It was believed that the red-pink crystal could protect against poisoning and relieve stomach pain. For men, it also turned out to be a good helper, maintaining strength and preventing attraction from disappearing.
