Rubellite, the vibrant pink to red variety of tourmaline, is a gemstone prized for its intense color and brilliance. Its hues, ranging from delicate rose to deep ruby red, are caused by trace amounts of manganese. With a hardness of 7 to 7.5 on the Mohs scale, rubellite is relatively durable, making it suitable for various jewelry styles. Unlike other pink tourmalines, true rubellite maintains its rich color under both natural and artificial light. Highly valued for its rarity and captivating beauty, it's a sought-after gem for collectors and those seeking a truly luxurious gemstone.
