Superb 6.18ct true Rubelite Tourmaline

The color of this tourmaline is intense. It has a pinkish red hue with a violet backbone that gives this gem incredible depth, and creates the plum/raspberry color that is coveted by collectors. This is graded as a true rubelite as its remarkable color palette is not effected by changes in light, and keeps the same hue in sunlight as well as indoors. This very large example measures an impressive 12.2mm x 10.2mm x 6.8mm, and exhibits a superior luster with mirror qualities. This quality gem has a Mohs hardness rating of 7.5 out of 10, making it as durable as it is beautiful, and perfect for every day wear. It was sourced from Mozambique, Africa, and is unheated.
