| Tourmalines are gems with an incomparable variety of colours. The reason, according to an old Egyptian legend, is that the tourmaline, on its long journey up from the centre of the Earth, passed over a rainbow. In doing so, it assumed all the colours of the rainbow. And that is why it is still referred to as the 'gemstone of the rainbow' today. The rubellite is a particularly beautiful gemstone from the colorful family of the tourmalines. Its colour shines in the most beautiful nuances from red to shocking pink. |
