Rubellite Tourmaline Overview
Name: Rubellite (a red to pink variety of Tourmaline)
Chemical Formula: (Na,Ca)(Li,Mg,Al)3Al6(BO3)3Si6O18(OH)4
Mineral Group: Tourmaline
Crystal System: Trigonal
Hardness: 7–7.5 on the Mohs scale
Luster: Vitreous
Transparency: Transparent to translucent
Specific Gravity: ~3.0–3.2
Color and Appearance:
Rubellite is known for its vibrant, deep pink to red hues, sometimes with purplish or violet overtones. Its color is caused primarily by manganese.
Top-quality rubellite remains vividly red under both natural and artificial light.
If the color shifts to brownish or pinkish in artificial light, it’s often classified simply as pink tourmaline, not rubellite.
True Rubellite is rare and highly valued for its saturated, glowing color and strong presence.
Notable Characteristics:
Color Stability: A key feature of fine rubellite is that its red color does not fade in different lighting.
Inclusions: Often contains natural inclusions, which are accepted in high-quality stones as evidence of authenticity.
Durability: Hard enough for jewelry, but care should be taken to avoid sharp impacts.
Geological Formation & Sources:
Rubellite forms in pegmatites – coarse-grained igneous rocks – and occasionally in metamorphic rocks.
Major Sources:
Brazil (notably Minas Gerais)
Afghanistan
Madagascar
Nigeria
Mozambique
United States (California and Maine)
Metaphysical and Symbolic Meaning (Optional):
Rubellite is considered a stone of the heart, symbolizing passion, love, and emotional healing.
Said to enhance confidence, strength of will, and creativity.
Often associated with the heart chakra, promoting emotional balance and compassion.

Why are users outbidding themselves?
When a bid is placed, this is the maximum amount a person is willing to bid for the product. Our system will then automatically bid on behalf of the bidder, incrementally increasing the bid up to the maximum to maintain their position as the highest bidder.
When there is an icon indicating 'Automatic Bid', it means our system is actively placing bids for the bidder based on their maximum bid. This may appear as if bidders are outbidding themselves, but it's simply a result of the system updating the bid to reflect the bidders maximum limit.
