Rubellite

Rubellite is a variety of tourmaline that comes in a range of pink, red, purplish red, orangy red, or brownish red hues, although there is debate in the gem trade over whether the term should be limited to red tourmalines. As a tourmaline, it is known for its wide variety of exciting colours, making it one of the most versatile gemstones.
