Rubellite
Rubellite
(Rubelite), a rare variety of tourmaline, comes in red color. It is
more valuable than any other varieties of the red tourmaline. The name
has been derived from the Latin word "rebellus," which mean "reddish."
In gem trade, it is also known as "red tourmaline."
Unlike other gemstone, rubellite do not change color under different
light source. It shines brilliantly in both natural as well as
artificial light. Sometimes it is treated with fillers to increase the
clarity of the stone.
Pink rubellite is believed to bring love and friendship. It is
thought to be the stone with feminine energy. Red rubellite is said to
instill courage and strong will power in the wearer. Watermelon
colored rubellite balances the male/female energies and it stimulates
the Heart Chakra. Natural healers use this rubellite to heal heart and
emotions. It also reduces nervousness and anxiety.
This, most desirable stone, is mostly found in Brazil, Madagascar,
Mozambique, Nigeria and Pakistan, and even in few locations in the
United States.
