Rubellite is a type of pink tourmaline gemstone which is often compared to the ruby because of its rich color. Rubellites are hard and durable gemstones, with a Mohs rating of 7 to 7.5. This makes them suitable for most types of jewelry, and ruby-red colored specimens without orange or brown overtones are highly prized. Both rubellite and pink tourmaline are types of tourmaline. Both are pink in color but the difference lies in the specific shades of pink. Rubellite stones are a vivid, pinkish-red color but are also found in pink or purple whereas pink tourmaline is available in a range of pink shades. These beautiful, reddish gemstones are believed to bring good emotion and positive energy to the wearer while also carrying strong, love energies. It’s said that they increase one’s feelings of positivity and bring healing and emotional balance for those who are going through personal issues or grieving. Rubellites are also believed to promote empathy and sympathy towards others and strengthen the bonds of friend, which is why it makes for a good gift between lovers or friends. Tanzanite is the blue and violet variety of the mineral zoisite. Tanzanite is only found in Tanzania, in a very small mining area near the Mererani Hills. Given the name “Tanzanite” by Tiffany & Co., the "blue-violet zoisite" was first introduced to the market in 1968. In 2002, the American Gem Trade Association chose tanzanite as a December birthstone, the first change to their birthstone list since 1912. Many believe that Tanzanite has the ability to banish negative thoughts from the owner's life, and helps them be less influenced by outside opinions. It also changes hue based on the lighting around it, and this is thought to change the wearer’s consciousness. Tanzanites are noted for their remarkably strong trichroism, appearing alternately sapphire blue, violet and burgundy depending on the crystal orientation. They also appear differently when viewed under alternate lighting conditions. The blues appear more evident when subjected to fluorescent light and the violet hues can be seen readily when viewed under incandescent illumination. Tanzanite forms as a brownish crystal and is trichroic, which means it shows three colors – brown, blue and violet – concurrently. Heating, either underground naturally by metamorphic processes, or artificially, removes the brown or burgundy color component to produce a stronger violet-blue color. Tanzanite is currently being credited as being the most popular gemstone on the market. It is one of the rarest gemstones on Earth, and because it is only found in one location, geologists estimate its supply may be entirely depleted within the next 20 years.
