I've always wanted to cut a rubellite tourmaline simply because of the color. This stone is not the cleanest, but when I've showed it people are blown away by the intense magenta/pink color. Unfortunately, the camera will focus on the inclusions, but came through brilliantly on the right color. This is not a pink tourmaline -- it is definitely rubellite!


The Rubellite Measures: 7.8mm tip to edge and weighs 1.8 ct

Asking Price: $600
