The Rubellite is a multifaceted gemstone with a color range from tender dramatic pink to ambivalent violet and crimson red. It is highly prized and priced due to its rarity and unique beauty. 

The Rubellite is a transparent gemstone from the colorful family of the Tourmalines. Its color can vary from red to violet to pale and dramatic pink. Its name comes from the Latin word "rubellus" which means reddish. It is the most prized and expensive member of the Tourmaline family because of its beauty and rarity.

A genuine Rubellite does not change its color depending on the light source. Because of its deep rich color, the gem is compared to the magnificent Ruby, but the difference between a Ruby and a Rubellite Tourmaline lies in the structure and intensity of color. Rubies have a higher density and a richer red undertone, but Rubellites are rarer - that makes them more expensive as well. 

Tourmalines are gems with an incomparable variety of colours. The reason, according to an old Egyptian legend, is that the Tourmaline, on its long journey up from the centre of the Earth, passed over a rainbow. In doing so, it assumed all the colours of the rainbow. And that is why it is still referred to as the 'gemstone of the rainbow' today.
