Comments:
This lot of rhodolite is pretty much ideal. They have good shapes for yield; They have great, open color; and their clarity is tops. What's not to like?
This lot would be perfect for a beginner, or anyone looking for / needing color matched gems and/or calibrated gems of the same size and shape.
It's always good to have a decent sized stash of these types of gems around -- They are affordable, and their performance is fantastic -- These make for bright, dynamic gems with great saturation, and NOT too dark. Some are insanely open and bright, while others are good.
