Red Tourmaline (sometimes referred to as Rubellite) is said to be a magical stone. This type of tourmaline is a base chakra stone capable of encouraging good physical health and abundance. It is particularly supportive of masculine energy, bringing happiness, love, energy and potency into a man’s life.

Historical Folklore

The name Tourmaline comes from an ancient Sinhalese word turmali, meaning “a mixed color precious stone,” or turamali, meaning “something small from the earth.”

Tourmaline was once referred to as a “Ceylonese magnet” for its electrical properties.

The Dutch referred to this stone as “ash mover” for its apparent ability to attract or repel ash when placed near a fire.

Red Tourmaline and Pink Tourmaline are commonly considered to be the same stone with very similar (if not identical) properties. They are both referred to as Rubellite.

These crystals can be black, brown, green, pink, red, yellow, blue, blue-green, and “watermelon”. Red tourmaline is found in Russia, Afghanistan, Brazil, Madagascar, Nigeria, and the United States.
