Rubellite is a variety of tourmaline, a mineral group known for its diverse range of colors. Rubellite specifically refers to tourmaline gemstones that display vibrant pink to red hues. The color is attributed to manganese and lithium impurities in the crystal structure.  Rubellite has a complex crystal structure, and its hardness ranges from 7 to 7.5 on the Mohs scale, making it suitable for various jewelry applications.  

Rubellite can range from transparent to opaque. Inclusions and internal features, known as "silk," may be present, affecting its transparency.  Like other tourmalines, rubellite exhibits pleochroism, meaning it can display different colors when viewed from different angles. This optical phenomenon adds to its visual interest.

Important sources of rubellite include Brazil, Afghanistan, Madagascar, Nigeria, and the United States.

Rubellite is believed to carry energies of love and passion. It is associated with the heart chakra and is thought to promote emotional healing and balance.
