Rubellite, a red tourmaline, is the rarest gem in the tourmaline family. Its dark pink to red color is due to trace amounts of manganese. Notable mining sites include Afghanistan, Brazil, and the United States. The gem forms from groundwater that settles into igneous rocks and is often found in pegmatites. Rubellite is commonly treated with heat and radiation. It shares its lush, dark red coloring with ruby and red spinel, and has often been mistaken for ruby. It is an 8th anniversary gem and specifically commemorates the 5th anniversary.

Gemstone Weight:
Gemstone materials will have different weights based on cut and size, among other factors. Weights listed are approximations, and individual gemstones may have slight variances from weight listed in production description. Natural gemstones may have slight variances in color, clarity, and appearance.

Silver weight:
Because of the nature of SARDA’s individually handcrafted sterling silver jewelry, silver weights are approximate and may have slight variances from the listed silver weight description. No two pieces are identical as our jewelry is handmade and finished.

Due to the nature of the every piece being handmade this requires every single jump ring to be hand soldered. Total Piece Weight may represents the total amount of .925 silver not the actual total piece weight.
