Description
Rubellite is the coveted red/pinkish, gemmy, Li-rich variety of Tourmaline. And this specimen has it all: deep red in color, gemmy, textbook (aka perfect) trigonal terminations, a super vitreous luster and a characteristic striation parallel to the prism. This is a nearly pristine specimen and aesthetically pleasing. Yes, it is gemmy and could be faceted, however, who would destroy a great mineral specimen?
