Rubellite tourmaline is a vivid, red to pink variety of the mineral tourmaline, prized for its rich color and striking appearance. The term "rubellite" specifically refers to tourmaline gemstones that range in hue from deep red to raspberry pink, although some may also display a purplish tint. The color is due to trace elements like manganese, which give the stone its distinct and vibrant shades.

Rubellite is a popular gemstone in fine jewelry due to its appealing color and rarity. It can be found in locations like Brazil, Afghanistan, and Africa, with the best stones often coming from Brazil’s Minas Gerais region. The stone is known for its durability (it rates 7-7.5 on the Mohs scale of hardness), making it suitable for various types of jewelry, including rings, necklaces, and earrings.

In addition to its beauty, rubellite is sometimes believed to carry metaphysical properties, such as promoting emotional healing, passion, and vitality. However, these beliefs are not scientifically verified and vary depending on cultural traditions.
