The mixed brilliant cut applied to this rubellite tourmaline is a testament to the high level of craftsmanship employed at The Natural Gemstone Company. This specific cutting style is designed to maximize the stone's brilliance and sparkle, skillfully blending the attributes of both brilliant-cut facets and step-cut facets. Brilliant-cut facets are expertly positioned on the crown to capture and return the most amount of light, while step-cut facets on the pavilion allow for a flattering reflection that emphasizes the gemstone's intense color saturation. The clarity grade, slightly included, suggests that any inclusions are minimal and primarily invisible to the naked eye from typical viewing distances, ensuring that the gem's vibrant color remains the focal point for its admirer.

Color intensity is one of the most significant attributes when evaluating a rubellite, and this piece offers an intense pinkish red coloration that immediately captures attention. Intense color saturation is achieved by the mineral composition and trace elements present during the formation of the tourmaline, alongside the strategic use of the brilliant cut to enhance this feature. The selected polish level guarantees a flawlessly smooth surface, allowing the precise color and intricate facets to be viewed without obstruction. Such impressive polish results from the deliberate and careful hand of experienced lapidaries, who recognize that the perfect finish is imperative for the gemstone's total visual impact.

Durability is a facet that cannot be overlooked, especially for those wishing to enjoy the beauty of rubellite daily. Known for its substantial hardness, rubellite scores a noteworthy 7 to 7.5 on the Mohs scale, rendering it resistant to common abrasions and scratches from everyday wear. This makes the gemstone suitable for a wide array of jewelry pieces, from rings to pendants, ensuring longevity with minimal maintenance. The Natural Gemstone Company assures that each rubellite, owing to its robustness, is not only a spectacular choice but also a pragmatic one for the gemstone enthusiast who longs for daily elegance and assurance in their investment.
