Rhodolite is a varietal name for the rose-pink to red mineral pyrope, a species in the garnet group. It was first described from Cowee Valley, Macon County, North Carolina. The name is derived from the Greek "rhodon" for "rose-like". In common with other pink mineral types (such as rhodochrosite, rhodonite), this coloration, and the commonly inclusion-free nature of garnet from this locality, has led to rhodolite being used as a gemstone.
