"Was very please with the stone. It just lures you to it. Now I have my Paraiba and Rubellite. I have already made the Paraiba into a ring. Not so sure what I am going to do with this one quite yet but I will know soon. I just might have to get more to make my set for me to wear at my daughter's wedding."

"this stone was shown and sold as a red stone. This stone is violet at best. Pretty if you want a violet stone, but it is not the pretty red stone shown on the television."

Fast Facts
| Red to pink colors of tourmaline are often referred to as rubellite. |
| Perfect for everyday wear, tourmaline is fairly durable at 7.5 on the Mohs’ scale and has no cleavage (reducing 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 the universe. |
 Brazil stands as the most important supplier of tourmaline.
