Gemstone Description
+
This 5.51 ct rubellite tourmaline from Mozambique may be dark in tone, but it holds a world of color within. With a reddish-purple hue (28 rP), tone 7 (dark), and moderately strong saturation (4), this gem reveals flashes of red, pink, and purple as it moves—an optical richness that brings the stone to life under the light.
Its oval cut is well proportioned (11.91 × 8.78 × 7.87 mm), giving it volume and presence. Despite its depth of tone and some visible inclusions (interconnected two-phase trichites), the gem maintains a lively internal brilliance and a glow that rewards closer attention.
Ideal for bold jewelry designs, especially men’s rings or powerful statement pieces, this gemstone combines size, structure, and personality. It’s a darker rubellite, yes—but one with a voice.
A gemstone that transforms in light—complex, substantial, and ideal for custom masculine or unisex designs.
