Grenada, often referred to as the “Spice Isle,” is known for its stunning landscapes, rich culture, and, increasingly, its unique gemstones. One such gemstone that has captured the attention of artisans and jewelry enthusiasts alike is Grenadite.
What is Grenadite?
Grenadite is a rare and beautiful gemstone found primarily on the island of Grenada. It is a type of metamorphic rock that boasts a striking range of colors, from deep greens and blues to more muted earthy tones. This diversity in color makes each piece of Grenadite unique, reflecting the vibrant and varied landscapes of Grenada itself.
