RUBELLITE

Tourmaline that stays red

Rubellite is the trade name for red to deep pink tourmaline that keeps its colour in daylight and under warm light alike. Stones that shift to brown or orange in one or the other are pink tourmaline, not rubellite.

Brazil, Nigeria, Mozambique and Madagascar produce it. Rubellite is usually included, so clean stones carry a premium, and much pink tourmaline in trade has been heated or irradiated.
