Gemstone Description
+
This 0.97 ct rubellite tourmaline from Mozambique may be under one carat, but it delivers a beautiful purplish-red hue (30 stpR) with medium tone (5) and moderately strong saturation (4). Its oval cut (7.05 × 5.06 × 4.34 mm) is balanced and luminous, bringing out the gem’s natural glow.
With slight inclusions (two-phase trichites) and a good cut, this gemstone is bright, well-proportioned, and full of charm—ideal for delicate rings, accent stones, or minimalist designs where color takes center stage.
Unheated and untreated, it also carries the symbolic value of being one of October’s birthstones—making it a thoughtful gift or personal talisman.
A bright little gem with lively color and endless design potential.
