1.96 ct Magenta Rhodolite from Kangala | Neon Violetish Red

Timeless Elegance: 1.96ct Rhodolite from Kangala

There are Rhodolite's—and then there are those rare gems that truly captivate and transcend the ordinary. This exquisite rhodolite belongs unmistakably to the latter category. Despite its modest size, it commands attention as an exceptional treasure, ideal for a statement ring, brooch, or bespoke jewelry piece.

Mined in 2022 from the legendary Kangala Mine in Tanzania, this gem’s journey is as remarkable as its beauty. The artisans dedicated months to unearth this marvel, and it was pure fortune that brought it to us during the founder’s gem-hunting expedition in Arusha. Purchased from a reputable local merchant who personally commissioned miners to explore the area, this gemstone carries a story as rich as its hue.

Its distinctive blend of deep red and vibrant magenta hues could easily be mistaken for a fine spinel, yet its brilliance and fire are uniquely rhodolite. Meticulously master-cut in an elegant emerald/octagon shape, the gem radiates a brilliance that is truly breathtaking — a testament to the Gem cutter’s skill and the stone’s inherent beauty. The gem has very microscopic crystal inclusions that are not detectable with naked eyes but can be seen with difficulty with an aid of a loupe. The Gem is eye clean.

This is not merely a gemstone; it is a collector’s piece destined to become a cherished heirloom.

Important Note to Our Esteemed Collectors and Shoppers In the Realm of Rare Splendor: The Art of Choosing Fine Gemstones

In the exquisite world of fine gemstones, color reigns as the ultimate sovereign. It is the soul of the stone—the element that defines its character, commands its value, and creates its unforgettable visual presence. When selecting a gem of distinction, let color be your guiding principle.

Following closely is clarity, the silent elegance that enhances brilliance and purity, illuminating the gem from within. While cut and carat weight contribute to a gemstone’s beauty and overall rarity, they are often secondary considerations—except when entering the realm of the truly extraordinary.

For gems of exceptional prestige—think Rubies, Sapphires, Emeralds, Alexandrites, Tsavorites, Spinels, Diamonds, Paraiba Tourmalines, and other prized collector’s treasures—size becomes a compelling factor. When combined with vivid color, remarkable clarity, and masterful cutting, it elevates the stone to a level of timeless, museum-worthy allure.

As you explore our curated collection, let this enduring gemological wisdom inspire and inform your choices. Each gemstone you select is not merely an accessory, but a statement of artistry, rarity, and refined taste.
