UNTOUCHED BY MAN, AND EVERYTHING THE RUBY WISHES IT WAS...
AN EXTREMELY RARE 3.92 CARAT VVS SRI LANKAN REDDISH PINK RHODOLITE GARNET
The use of red Garnet dates back thousands of years, when it was used by Egyptian Pharaohs for both decorative and ceremonial purposes. The ancient Romans also wore Garnet rings and traded Garnet gemstones. In ancient times, Garnet and other red gemstones cut en cabochon were called ‘carbuncles’, which is not the prettiest of names because it was also used to define pus-filled boils.
Garnet sources include China, Madagascar, Myanmar, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Tanzania and the United States. Deposits in the Czech Republic do still exist, but are of minor importance.
