Rubilite

The rubellite is a particularly beautiful gemstone from the colorful family of the tourmalines.

There are red and pink tourmalines in many nuances, which include a tender pink, a fine shocking pink, an intense violet and a bold ruby-red. However, only a few of these are entitled to call themselves ‘rubellites’. The name comes from the Latin ‘rubellus’, which means reddish.  There is an important criterion for this especially beautiful gemstone, and that is the way its color behaves in daylight and artificial light. Rubillite shines as intensely in artificial light as in daylight.
