Rubellite
Rubellite is a rare and highly prized variety of tourmaline known for its vibrant red to pinkish-red colour. Rubellite’s colour is due to trace amounts of manganese within the crystal structure. Rubellite is valued for its intense and saturated hues, which can rival the colour of ruby or pink sapphire. The most desirable rubellites exhibit a pure, vivid red colour with excellent transparency and clarity. Rubellite is associated with passion, vitality, and emotional healing.
