Pink tourmaline is a specific color of tourmaline, the very common boron-bearing silicate mineral. Pink is the rarest of the rainbow of colors that tourmaline, sometimes called the "rainbow stone," comes in. It varies through shades of pink to red. When the stone is deep in the red color, it is called "rubalite." It is this raspberry shade of red, when found in excellent clarity, that brings is the greatest price of all tourmalines. All tourmalines have the pyroelectric property, which means that when the stone is heated by sunlight or display lights it can attract dust and dirt to adhere to the stone's surfaces until cooled. As today's mineral healers believe, tourmalines can greatly enhance psychic powers and energy, as well as neutralize negative powers. We invite you to stop in and examine our very large selection of tourmalines, from the rarer pink and red colors to the very deep green shades waiting for you at Ralph Miller Jewelers.
