Rubellite Tourmaline Facet Grade Rough from Madagascar
Madagascar rubellite is a variety of elbaite tourmaline and shares the general properties of the tourmaline group, deriving its color from trace elements, primarily manganese.
Color: Ranges from deep pinkish-red to magenta, and sometimes with purple undertones. The most valuable specimens are intensely red without any brown or orange hues, particularly under artificial light.
Hardness: It ranks at 7 to 7.5 on the Mohs scale, making it a durable gemstone suitable for various types of jewelry, though protective settings in rings are recommended for everyday wear.
Clarity: Rubellite is classified as a Type III gemstone, meaning inclusions are common. However, some high-quality Madagascar material is known for having good clarity, adding to its appeal.
Uses in Jewelry
Rubellites are perfectly combined with different types of metal both cold and warm shades. The gemstone's unique color and luster make it a popular choice for rings, earrings, pendants, and bracelets. Rubellite is often paired with diamonds, other colored gemstones, or set in precious metals such as gold or platinum.
Rubellite's bright color and durability also make it a suitable choice for engagement rings. The gemstone's hardness and resistance to scratching make it an ideal option for everyday wear.
