Rubellite in Matrix
Rubellite, a captivating variant of tourmaline, is renowned for its mesmerizing range of pink to red hues, attributing its vibrant coloration to manganese and sometimes lithium. Distinguished from other tourmalines by its intense color that does not fade under different light sources, rubellite boasts a Mohs hardness rating of 7 to 7.5, making it durable enough for various jewelry applications. This gemstone is not only sought after for its beauty but also for its rarity, as true rubellite is uncommon, with the finest specimens often exhibiting a vivid, saturated color akin to that of fine ruby. Found in locations such as Brazil, Madagascar, Nigeria, and Mozambique, rubellite is a favorite among gem collectors and enthusiasts for its dazzling color, luster, and its unique ability to maintain its brilliance under both natural and artificial lighting conditions.
Rubellite, like other varieties of tourmaline, is considered non-toxic and safe for handling and wear in jewelry. This gemstone does not contain any harmful elements that could leach out or vaporize under normal conditions of use and wear. It's important to note, however, that while the stone itself is not toxic, cutting or grinding it without proper equipment could generate dust which should not be inhaled. Therefore, lapidaries working with Rubellite or any type of mineral should use appropriate protective gear, such as masks and ventilation systems, to avoid inhaling fine particulates. For the general consumer, owning, wearing, or handling Rubellite poses no known health risks, making it a safe and enchanting choice for gemstone enthusiasts.
