Product Description for Approximately .30ct 6x4mm Oval Rubellite TourmalineRed to pink colors of tourmaline are called rubellite. Perfect for everyday wear, tourmaline is fairly durable at 7.5 on Mohs' scale and it has no cleavage, reducing the risk of breakage and chipping. Sometimes referred to as the "electric stone," tourmaline becomes statically charged when heated or rubbed, attracting dust, lint, and small pieces of paper. Tourmaline possesses one of the widest color ranges, reproducing every conceivable color in spectrum, and is found primarily in Brazil.

"This order included 2 ea approx .30ct oval rubellite tourmalines. Of the two, one had excellent color and sparkle. The other stone was duller in color and not as brilliant. Not worth the trouble to return both. I'll use one and put the other away "just-in-case"
