The decorator in me wants to grab out paint chips & put it next to this gemstone to determine the exact color of it. Is it magenta? Is it red? For this purpose I’m saying it’s red, because I needed another gemstone for the series. Rubellite tourmaline is what rubies should look like. It is clear, it has great color. The tourmaline picturdd is actually two colors & looks like some high breed jolly rancher. For that reason alone I must own it. It’s known as the "electric gem" because rubellite takes on a static charges when exposed to heat or friction. It then attracts dust, small pieces of paper, woodland creatures etc. That isn’t really a selling point, but who wouldn’t want a ring that might be able to shock people, literally.
