#RHODOLITE GARNET STONE

[reddpenn]

Here is a potentially silly question: how do you feel about birthstones? Do you think they fit the months (by season or astrological sign)? Do you have other stones you'd rather see as birthstones?

Okay, so, birthstones make absolutely no sense.

I mean, look at this mess. We’re doing beryl and corundum twice! I get that they get Special Different Names for their Special Different Colors, but it's just lazy. And why are we giving some months cheap, common gemstones like garnet and amethyst while the poor June birthdays have to shell out tens of thousands of dollars for FREAKING ALEXANDRITE? That’s incredibly unfair! We should be picking birthstones that are all roughly the same price. And why do some months get multiple gemstones? I’ll tell you why: because nobody can agree on an official list and every attempt to standardize this thing has just added MORE birthstones to every month.

So obviously the answer is to standardize it again, by throwing out everything and starting over. Here are our goals:

Fair pricing. You should be paying roughly the same amount regardless of what month you were born in. We’re getting rid of those ridiculous outliers like diamond and alexandrite.

More customization potential! Nobody should be stuck with a stone they hate. We’re picking gemstones that come in multiple colors or varieties, so that everyone can choose a variant they like.

Wearability. Some birthstones are too fragile to be worn as jewelry. We need to replace them with stronger stuff.

No more duplicate gemstones. Every month gets a stone or family of stones with a unique chemical composition.

Now without further ado, I present to you:

The New And Improved List Of Birthstones With No Problems Or Flaws That Everyone Will Definitely Agree On And We Can Start Using Right Now Immediately

JANUARY: GARNET

I've got no problem with garnet. It's a fine, classic birthstone, so January can keep it. But I would like to see a little more garnet diversity. January birthdays shouldn’t be confined to just red. The garnet family of minerals contains a rainbow of different colors, like orange hessonite, green uvarovite, pink rhodolite, yellow grandite, and many more. They’re all garnet, so we should be wearing them all!

FEBRUARY: QUARTZ

The original birthstone of February was amethyst, which is… kinda boring. Super cheap and common and you only get one color? No, we can do better. February gets ALL the quartzes now. Keep wearing amethyst if you want, but also feel free to branch out into clear quartz, citrine, rose quartz, smoky quartz, rutilated quartz, tiger eye… actually, take all the agates too. If it’s quartz, it’s yours!

MARCH: SPODUMENE

March was originally aquamarine, but I’ll be giving all the beryls to May, so we need a different stone here. Let’s stick with that theme of pale pastels and go with spodumene. For an April birthday, bedeck yourself in green hiddenite, pink kunzite, or yellow triphane. Despite its subtle colors, your birthstone has some amazing fluorescence, with really cool pinks and oranges under a UV light.

APRIL: FELDSPAR

Diamond is too pricy for this list, so we’re replacing it with something less expensive and way more interesting. April will now be represented by the feldspar family. We’re talking labradorite, moonstone, amazonite, aventurine, and sunstone. While you don’t have much variety in color, your stones are full of shimmery schiller which glitters and shifts as it catches the light.

MAY: BERYL

May’s original birthstone was emerald, which is great and can stay, but we’re also adding its siblings! May is now represented by all beryls: Emerald, Aquamarine, Morganite, Bixbite, Heliodor, Goshenite, and whatever other varieties I’m forgetting to list. A bright and saturated rainbow of colors is represented here, so everyone born in May is sure to find something they like.

JUNE: ORGANIC GEMSTONES AND FOSSILS

It’s time to address the alexandrite in the room, and obviously we’re getting rid of alexandrite. A stone worth $15,000 to $70,000 a carat does not belong on the same list as friggin amethyst. Instead we’ll look at the other traditional June birthstone, pearl. The problem with pearl is that it’s a clear outlier in this list. An organic gemstone, by some definitions not even a mineral. Should we replace it? NO. We are OWNING it. All organic gemstones now belong to June. Pearl is joined here by jet, amber, coral, ivory, ammolite, petrified wood… in fact, June can have every fossil ever.

JULY: SPINEL

July was originally represented by ruby, which is a fine stone and won’t be kicked off the birthstone list - we’re just shuffling it down to September. Replacing ruby for July is spinel. (See, it’s funny because historically spinel has often been mistakenly identified as ruby! That's a little gemology humor for you.) Available in any hue you could possibly desire, spinel offers some nice color options to a month that previously only featured red. Of course if you want to keep wearing red, red spinel mimics ruby so well that you’ll barely notice the difference.

AUGUST: PERIDOT

Nope, we’re not changing this one. Peridot is the ideal gemstone and you ungrateful August whiners can die mad about it. HOW ABOUT YOU LEARN TO APPRECIATE PERFECTION

SEPTEMBER: CORUNDUM

Sapphire is a wonderful, classic stone and it deserves its spot on this list. But the corundum family has been separated for far too long, and we’re finally going to reunite them. Joining sapphire in September is its sister ruby. Between the pinks and reds of ruby and the many, many colors of sapphire, these two stones give September a nice variety of colors.

OCTOBER: TOURMALINE

Look, as gorgeous as opal is and as much as I love it, it is both way too pricy for our list and also TERRIBLE in jewelry. This stone is just too brittle to wear around from day to day and can be ruined just by getting it wet, which makes wearing your birthstone a huge hassle. We’ll kick opal out and hang on to October’s other traditional birthstone, tourmaline. Pink tourmaline may be classic, but this stone comes in plenty of other colors. Whether it’s brown dravite, watermelon elbaite, or the rare and beautiful blue indicolite, you can wear them all!

NOVEMBER: TOPAZ

November can keep topaz, but we’re not confining it to the color yellow. This stone comes in a huge variety of colors, and now they can ALL represent November. No further notes; it’s a nice, classic stone.

DECEMBER: ZIRCON

I dunno, I’ve had to come up with 12 of these, I’m burnt out. Sure, zircon, whatever.

“BUT WAIT,” you say. “Now instead of having a single color assigned to each month, almost every month is represented by almost every color, making it impossible to tell anyone’s birthstones apart and removing what made them special and recognizable as symbols!”

Well CLEARLY you didn’t read the title of this list.

Some more info on Hau's brand new Eeveelution discovery! The name was derived from Rhodolite, a gemstone! Reasons for picking this gemstone in particular is as follows: "Rhodolite Garnet is an ideal stone to use for emotional healing, or to build, or rebuild self-worth. It helps us to receive abundance on an emotional level by alleviating the feelings of inadequacy or unworthiness that block us from receiving love, acceptance, abundance, and compassion." This just seemed to fit Hau's feeling so immensely well after the recent things he's been through. Since he channeled emotions and powers into the evolutionary stone that created this Eeveelution, it felt only fitting! I know Eeveelutions are usually mono-type, but I just thought this fit better c:

CoD consorts, gemstones and crystals

Some of the Court of Darkness consorts have a gem or crystal associated with them like in the avatar items for their paths or mentioned in their path. I don’t remember them all so does anyone on here know the ones I don’t know?

The ones I know are

Lynt - Emerald Fenn - Amethyst Toa - Sapphire Roy - Ruby Rio - Carnelian Tino - Peridot Knight - Aquamarine Grayson - Iolite Dia - Rhodolite

Guy - I don’t remember the one for Guy. Does anyone know what it is? His avatar items say claret and that’s wine not a gemstone. Jasper - I don’t know if there is one for Jasper. Does anyone know if there is and what it is? Edit: @stnskitten pointed out Jasper’s items are Garnet in the Jasper themed Timeless Tailor Collection draw. Lance - The items for Lance’s path say amber and his shirt item says auralite but I think another stone was mentioned in his path. I think it was a quartz? Do anyone remember what it was? Lou - Items for his path say moondrop but that’s not a real stone. The tiered gown item says moonstone and moonstone is a real stone.

Ruby Detail -

Main ruby producing countries

Some gemstones that are popularly or historically called rubies, such as the Black Prince's Ruby in the British Imperial State Crown, are actually spinels. These were once known as "Balas rubies".

The quality of a ruby is determined by its color, cut, and clarity, which, along with carat weight, affect its value. The brightest and most valuable shade of red, called blood-red or pigeon blood, commands a large premium over other rubies of similar quality. After color follows clarity: similar to diamonds, a clear stone will command a premium, but a ruby without any needle-like rutile inclusions may indicate that the stone has been treated. Ruby is the traditional birthstone for July and is usually pinker than garnet, although some rhodolite garnets have a similar pinkish hue to most rubies. The world's most valuable ruby to be sold at auction is the Sunrise Ruby.

10 Varieties of Garnets You Should Know

Garnets are a group of hard, glassy minerals known for their luster and their wide variety of color. Garnets have many varieties which are differentiated on the basis of color, origin and chemical composition. Here are 10 garnet varieties every gemstone buff must know about.

Types of Garnets

1. Hessonite – Also known as ‘cinnamon stone’, Hessonite garnet looks like Winnie the Pooh’s treasure of hardened honey. Found in Sri Lanka, Brazil and California, Hessonite exudes warmth and good vibes.

2. Tsavorite – Found exclusively in Africa, tsavorite is the world’s rarest garnet. It was recently discovered in 1967 but takes billions of years to form. Tsavorite is often compared to emeralds on account of its mystical green color which symbolizes abundance and rebirth.

3. Pyrope – The dazzling red pyrope is one of the best known members of the garnet family. In Arizona, pyrope is called ‘ant-hill garnet” because it is found in clusters of small pebbles around anthills as ants remove them from the ground to build their homes, making the mining process unusual and adorable.

4. Almandine – With its decadent wine red color almandine jewelry looks like something out of Game of Thrones. Almandine along with pyrope make the ‘red garnets’, which  are the most popular.

5. Rhodolite – blessed with a flush of pink, rhodolite is named after the flower rhododendron. It is also referred to as the ‘Queen of garnets’ as it is said to encapsulate an elusive, feminine beauty. Chemically, rhodolite isn’t a specific type but falls somewhere between almandine and pyrope.

6. Malaya garnet – or malaia garnet is pinkish or reddish-orange in color and no, in spite of what its name suggests, it is not from Malaysia. It was accidentally discovered by miners  in Africa searching for rhodolite. In Swahili ‘Malaya’ means ‘outcast’ because its value was not recognized until much later.

7. Andradite - Its mysterious green color ranges from a mere trace to bright lime green with hues of gold. While andradite looks like something that emerges from Musafa’s lair, the stone is actually associated with good energy and is believed to have healing properties.

8. Demantoid – Demantoid has an even greater fire than Andradite. It’s compelling green is immediately attractive; this Russian beauty combined with its rarity make it one of the most sought after gemstones.

9. Spessartine –  With it’s color varying from soft orange to golden-yellow, Spessartine looks like a lozenge from outer space. It is also known as ‘mandarin garnet’ on account of its exquisite color.  

10. Melanite – This black-colored gemstone is a rare variety of andradite garnet. While Melanite is opaque, its high refractive index gives it an intense luster. It can give black onyx a run for its money.

Apart from being the January birthstone, Garnet is also the official gemstone for the second wedding anniversary.

If you are looking for a special way to celebrate either of these milestones, have a look at GemsNY’s garnet jewelry and GIA certified loose gemstones collection.

In addition to what garnets usually do, Rhodolite garnets stimulate contemplation/intuition and inspiration, protects the base chakra, enhances healthy sexuality, helps overcome frigidity, stimulates the metabolism and helps treat the heart lungs and hips

Rhodolite garnets should be worn on the earlobes, finer or over the heart and should be in contact with your skin. If doing a past life recall, place on 3rd eye
