Pink Tourmalines have a wide range of colors from peachy-pink to strong pink to reddish-pink. They are available in light to dark tones.

Gems with a strong reddish-pink color are sometimes termed as ‘Rubellite’ or ‘Pink Rubellite’.

Tourmalines are part of a family of closely related mineral species with the same crystal structure but with different chemical and physical properties.

Pink Tourmalines are Elbaites and the trace element manganese can be responsible for their color. Some Tourmalines are pink due to color centers caused by radiation.

Since Tourmaline grows in long crystals referred to as “pencils” they are frequently cut as elongated emerald cuts that are perfect for pendants, earrings and even some rings.

Tourmalines are found in many different locations around the world including Brazil, Nigeria, Mozambique, USA (California, Maine), Congo, Tanzania, and has one of the widest color ranges found in gemstones.
