Garnet is the traveler's gem for it protects you when you are far from home. Early travelers used garnets as talismans to light up the night and keep away evil. The term "rhodolite" comes from the Greek word "rhodon," meaning rose. Rhodolite garnets have a purple-red color, which is lighter than most red garnet. A rhodolite garnet's color is the most important factor when purchasing this gem. The color should be a bright raspberry. Cut is more important than clarity with a rhodolite garnet: they often have a velvety texture that intensifies the color. Garnet is the birthstone for January, the 2nd anniversary gem, and the zodiac gem for Aquarius.
