This color is characterized by being stable under different light sources, unlike some other types of Tourmaline that may change color. These attractive color grades are attributed to the presence of manganese and chromium in the crystal's chemical composition. It is one of the most valuable and sought-after types of Tourmaline in the gemstone market, especially those with a deep, pure red color. Rubellite is found in several regions around the world, including Brazil, Madagascar, and Nigeria.
