Named from the Greek work, Rhodan, meaning "rose-like" it takes after its namesake, not only in color but also beauty. Rhodolite's, being a pyrope type garnet, come in shades including pinks, reds, purples and every mixture therein it can also go under a treatment known as heat treating to be turned brown, this process is irreversible.
