    Product Description for Apx .65ct 7x5mm Oval Brazilian Rubellite Tourmaline

    Red 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.
