Rubellite Tourmaline, often dubbed the “Stone of Love,” is celebrated for its profound ability to activate the Heart Chakra, kindling the fires of love, compassion, and emotional healing. This gem’s signature pink and red hues are vivid reflections of passion and deep affection, serving as potent reminders of the importance of self-love and self-acceptance in achieving emotional equilibrium.

The Spiritual Vibes

Deep within the Earth’s crust, Rubellite Tourmaline takes shape, primarily in granite pegmatite deposits. The name “Rubellite” gracefully derives from the Latin term “rubellus,” an ode to its enchanting shades of pink and red. Across the annals of history, Rubellite Tourmaline has held an esteemed position, treasured for its exquisite appearance and metaphysical attributes. It has served as a talisman for matters of the heart, facilitating emotional healing. In contemporary times, this gem remains a sought-after choice in jewellery, esteemed for the love and compassion it exudes.

Rubellite Tourmaline harmonises harmoniously with the Heart Chakra, empowering matters of love and emotion. It’s renowned for its capacity to untangle emotional blockages, nurture self-acceptance, and pave the way for profound connections with others. This crystal encourages the embrace of inner passions and authentic expression of feelings. Closely entwined with the Heart Chakra, Rubellite Tourmaline aligns and balances the energies of this vital centre. Its resonance extends to the Libra zodiac sign, enhancing Libra’s characteristic traits of equilibrium, unity, and love.
