Rubellite FAQs
Rubellite is a vivid pink to red variety of tourmaline, known for its rich color and high brilliance. It differs from other pink tourmalines in its deeper saturation and ability to hold color under various lighting conditions. In estate jewelry, rubellite is often seen in bold Retro designs or unique custom creations. Its lush hue and relative rarity make it a standout among colored gemstones.
Rubellite rates 7 to 7.5 on the Mohs scale, making it a good choice for many types of jewelry — though it can be brittle due to natural inclusions. Vintage rubellite rings or bracelets should be worn with care, especially if the stone has internal features that could weaken it. Earrings and pendants are safer for frequent wear. As with all antique gems, gentle use and secure settings are key to preservation.
Use lukewarm water, mild soap, and a soft cloth or brush. Avoid ultrasonic and steam cleaning, particularly for antique or included stones. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry. Store rubellite separately to prevent scratching from harder stones like diamond or sapphire, and avoid exposing it to sudden temperature changes or harsh chemicals.
Rubellite’s intense color rivals that of ruby, making it a popular alternative for collectors who want something unique. Fine rubellite is rarer than many other tourmalines, especially in larger sizes or clean specimens. Estate rubellite pieces often reflect bold, expressive design choices, making them excellent conversation pieces. Their vibrant, romantic hue is particularly striking in vintage yellow or rose gold settings.
