Precision faceted Rubellite Tourmaline from Nigeria displays one of the most sought-after colors in the tourmaline family — a true, vibrant red without veering too far toward pink or brown. Pure red tourmaline is exceptionally difficult to source, as most crystals lean toward pinkish or purplish tones. Stones like this represent the rare intersection of ideal color saturation, clarity, and expert cutting.
Tourmaline in this color range is often associated with old Nigerian deposits that yielded material during the late 1990s and early 2000s, now largely depleted.
