Lab grown gems often offer uniformity and lower cost, and they have an important place in the market, however natural rubellite brings complexity in color and internal structure that creates richer face up depth and subtler color interactions, collectors and those buying for an engagement will appreciate the sense of authenticity and the connection to a known origin, this gem comes from Brazil, a respected source for fine tourmaline.
