"Comparing the stone I received with the gemstone ordering book of my jeweler, the stone does not look in color to be rubellite. This stone looks in color to be perfect match for AAA pink tourmaline. Regardless, the stone I received has a good cut, great color throughout (no windows), no scratches/nicks/chips. My stone's weight was aprox .71ct (love extra ctw!). It's a keeper, even if the color in my opinion is not that of rubellite."
