Rubellite is simply a deeply reddish Tourmaline that closely resembles the precious Ruby gemstone. Despite its beauty and rarity, Rubellite is not as expensive as the Rubies. The reason is ironical and understandable that this gemstone is not very popular. In the trade, Rubellite value is often evaluated on the basis of its Origin, Color, Clarity, Cut and Size.

Generally, Rubellite price per carat in India ranges between â‚¹ 6,000 per carat ($90 approx.) to â‚¹ 20,000 per carat ($310 approx.) plus depending upon its quality and size. However, one can find a notable difference in Rubellite price in other countries like USA, UAE, U.K, Dubai or Malaysia. Interestingly, Rubellite Tourmaline cost may also vary in different cities of the same country. For e.g. - Due to the higher gem cutting and polishing charge in cities like Mumbai, Rubellite Tourmaline price in Mumbai can be higher than Rubellite gemstone price in Jaipur, Delhi or Kolkata where cutting and polishing can be done at much affordable prices.

Origin– The finest quality Rubellite mineral is found in the mine of Brazil, Mozambique, Madagascar, USA and Nigeria. In the past few years, Cruzeiro Rubellite (Brazilian Rubellite variety) have gained a good market value. Rubellites from Cruzeiro mines of Brazil are identified by their striking raspberry red hue. California Rubellite, Nigerian Rubellite, African Rubellite and Rubellite from Madagascar are the other preferred choices.

Clarity– Clarity in Rubellite is subjected to the transparency and inclusions present. The presence of minor inclusions can be overlooked, and the Rubellite price can remain unaffected if the color and transparency compensate the inclusions present. Loupe clean Rubellites (with no visible inclusions and ‘eye clean’ clarity) with good transparency are very rare to find and hence command a good premium. So, If you can find a highly clean piece in our catalogue, don’t miss the deal.

Cut – A skilfully faceted and highly proportionate Rubellite loose stone is expected to be little expensive as it retains less weight and cost higher labour charge. Round and oval are relatively more economical. For a cheaper option, one can look for Rubellite cabochons. (non-faceted polished gem with one side dome surface)

Carat Weight – Finding an absolutely eye clean Rubellite Tourmaline raw stone in big size is incredibly tough. Therefore, Rubellite Tourmaline price per carat increases exponentially for such quality gems. One can expect a linear rise in price per carat or ratti for Rubellite Tourmalines of lower quality.

A member of the Tourmaline family, Rubellite is recognized for its exceptional red hue. But, it is important to understand that every Red or Pink Tourmaline is not worthy of being a Rubellite. Hence, quality is a big concern while buying a Rubellite gemstone. Generally, color is what distinguishes Rubellite from other Tourmalines as a Rubellite holds its color in natural as well as artificial light. Besides its color, its Clarity, Cut, and Origin are also the defining factors that help in finding the best quality Rubellite gemstone.

Color– Rubellite color ranges from pure red, slightly purplish red, deep purplish pink. Some crystals may include orangey, brownish or purplish hues. Pink Rubellite and Red Rubellite Tourmaline bearing rich color with deeper tone and saturation are generally considered best for purchase.

Clarity– Due to its crystal structure, Rubellite gemstone is likely to have imperfections or flaws. It usually occurs as hollow tubes, needles, irregular thread like gas or liquid inclusions in a mesh like pattern. Considering the rarity of Rubellite, gems with insignificant inclusions are acceptable. Nevertheless, fewer inclusions and good transparency do make the gem more valuable.

Cut – A gem cutter always look for a cut that enhances the color and brings optimum clarity of the raw Rubellite but without causing much weight loss. Oval cut and Round cut are easily available whereas Rubellites in highly customised in shapes and cuts are less in number. Low quality Rubellite raw stones are often shaped as cabochons.

Origin – Over the world, gem quality Rubellite rough comes from the mines located in Russia, Brazil (Minas Gerais), Madagascar (Andilamena), Mozambique, Nigeria, Sri Lanka and USA (California). Due to its deep purplish red hue and good clarity, Brazilian Rubellite is considered the finest. In recent years, African deposits have also yielded clean Rubellite Tourmaline rough. USA (California and Maine) mines usually produce the shocking Pink Rubellite stones.
