Ruby is a hard aluminum oxide (called corundum) with a hexagonal crystal system. It is the red variety of corundum as well as one of the primary varieties, along with Sapphire. Ruby’s color range includes red, reddish-pink, and blood orange red and can sometimes be found in blue and green varieties. Depending on the variety it can appear in pink, blue, and green.
Rhodolite Garnet is a trade name that is used to describe pink and purple Garnets. It was originally used just for Pyrope Garnets found in North Carolina, USA, but is now used for any Pyrope and/or Almandine Garnets if it has the right color. Rhodolite Garnets are an incredible talisman for emotional wisdom. They sharpen our gifts of discernment and help us to distinguish between reality and our hopes and fear. It is a great stone for parents who want a happy relationship with their adult children. This jewel helps establish a new social contract between two equals, rather than clinging to an old paradigm of parental authority.
