Rubellite Tourmaline (vibrant color)

Item Description

Here is a great gem from one of the most productive localities for Rubellite Tourmaline in the world! The stone is a good size, VVS, intense / vibrant reddish-pink "Round Brilliant" cut gem. The color is VERY saturated and attractive. It is my belief that the stone was cut from a broken crystal from the famous Jonas Mine, which produced the most famous Rubellite crystals in the history of mineral collecting. Fine Rubellites can retail for over $400-$500 per carat, and this stone would look beautiful in a pendant, or alone in a gem box. Tourmalines are some of the most diverse and popular gems out there, and a stone with this color is rather desirable.
