Cheap strands of pink tourmaline are usually hard to find, because raw material with good color is usually processed into gemstone beads. Nevertheless, in a small cutting shop we found these beautiful tourmaline strands with small roundish splinters.
The pink tourmaline splinters are about 3mm thick and about 5 - 7mm long.
The stone medicine knows the pink tourmaline (rubellite) as a stone with activating effect.
The name Rubellite is derived from the Latin word "rubellus" (red); spellings like rubelite, rubbelite or rubellite are therefore not correct. Since the Urals were the most important locality for Rubellite until the 1920s, the synonym "Siberian Ruby" is still occasionally found in the literature.
Hello! My name is Marco Schreier and I am the founder of the Mineralienhandlung GmbH of the same name. Creativity and stones have been a topic for me since I was a child, and they first shaped my free time and then my entire professional life.
As a child, this began playfully with collecting and crafting with stones I had found myself and with the first minerals that my grandfather brought me from the Alps. Later, a fascination for processing, sawing, grinding, designing and artistic work with gemstones emerged. With our Chili Creative ® brand, we managed to build up a range developed by experts from our wholesale business and our production sites in Asia.
Today, numerous professional jewelry designers, goldsmiths, jewelry makers, jewelers and creative people from the online world such as Etsy and Pinterest providers use the components of Chili Creative® in their projects. With our tools, stone components, bead strands, pearls and silver parts as well as high-quality stringing materials, you can create creative jewelry projects that are highly profitable for resale.
