These regions yield rhodolite garnets in various hues and sizes, making them accessible to gem enthusiasts worldwide. **Significance and Symbolism:** Throughout history, garnets have been associated with passion, love, and self-confidence. Rhodolite garnet's beautiful purplish-red color is believed to symbolize devotion, loyalty, and commitment, making it a meaningful choice for engagement rings and romantic jewelry.
