Pink Tourmaline jewelry

Pink tourmaline jewelry features a pink of rare intensity. This vibrant, luminous pink, sometimes almost fuchsia, sometimes softer and more translucent, possesses a depth that neither rose quartz nor rhodonite can match. Pink tourmaline, also known as rubellite in its most intense hues, is a complex borosilicate whose color comes from manganese. This stone was once found in the jewels of Russian tsarinas and Chinese empresses of the Qing dynasty. Empress Dowager Cixi was so passionate about it that she had tons of pink tourmaline imported from California in the 19th century, creating a veritable "tourmaline fever" in the mines of San Diego.

In lithotherapy, pink tourmaline is considered the stone of deep emotional love and heart healing. It works on the heart chakra with a power and depth that few pink stones achieve. Where rose quartz envelops with gentleness and rhodonite heals relational wounds, pink tourmaline deeply opens the heart and reconnects to the ability to love without fear. It is a stone recommended for people who have emotionally closed themselves off after repeated hurts, who can no longer trust, or who have lost touch with their emotions. It helps dissolve the heart's protective walls while maintaining a sense of security.

Pink tourmaline pairs beautifully with rose quartz (gentleness and unconditional love), black tourmaline (the ultimate protection-love duo, especially in watermelon bi-color tourmaline), or amethyst (calm and wisdom). For maintenance, a rinse with clear water and recharging in moonlight are sufficient. With a hardness of 7 to 7.5 on the Mohs scale, it is a solid and resistant stone, perfect for daily wear.
