Tourmalines Rubellith is an outstandingly beautiful gemstone from the colorful Tourmaline family. Its colors sparkle in the most beautiful shades from red to pink.
Tourmalines are closely related gemstones which are supplied by Nature in many different colors. The trade generally uses no separate denominations for the individual varieties, but rather adds the color to the name Tourmaline, thus referring to red, green, yellow or blue Tourmalines. But there are exceptions to this rule: this applies especially to the red and pink stones.
Red and pink Tourmalines come in many different shades from palest shell-pink via bold pink to a deep ruby red. But only a selected few of these are called "Rubellith”. The name is derived from the Latin term "rubellus” which means "reddish”. Bur Rubelliths are not simply red or pink Tourmalines. This exceptionally beautiful gemstone shows a decisive characteristic: its steady color in daylight and artificial light. In fact, many gemstones change their color depending on the source of light. A Rubellith never changes color: it shines as brilliantly and clearly in daylight as in artificial light. In contrast to this, the color of most other pink and red Tourmalines shows a more or less noticeable brownish hue in artificial light.
