Cabochon Garnet Eternity Pendant
Rhodolite is a purplish red variety of Garnet that has been used since ancient times. The name rhodolite is Greek, meaning rose stone. During the Middle Ages, garnet was regarded as a gem of faith, truth and constancy. All garnets have been associated with blood related topics, such as remedies for hemorrhages. Asiatic tribes fashioned bullets out of garnets, instead of lead, as they believed the garnet bullets were more deadly. As late as 1892, the Hanzas used garnet bullets against British troops.
