ABOUT
The tourmaline family is a group of minerals with multiple varieties, each dominated by a proper name or by the term "tourmaline" associated with its characteristic color.
Pink tourmaline is primarily represented by the variety of rubellites, whose color ranges from pink to red. This variety is particularly addressed in this chapter.
In addition to rubellites, we also find in pink tones the dravite (light mahogany) and the silérite (lilac pink to blue-violet).
The name of the most common pink tourmaline, rubellite, comes from the Latin "rubellus" which means reddish. This name is in perfect harmony with the characteristic color of this precious stone, which oscillates between pink and red.
Pink tourmaline was until recently quite common and accessible, but demand has increased considerably, as has its price. However, it remains an attractive and more affordable alternative to pink sapphire, thanks to the quality of its colors.
