In stone healing, pink tourmaline (rubellite) is used as a stone with activating effect. The mineral supports to dedicate oneself full of devotion and with all one's strength to a project, a task.
The name Rubellite is derived from the Latin word "rubellus" (red); spellings such as rubelite, rubbelite or rubellite are therefore incorrect. Since the Urals were the most important locality for Rubellite until the 1920s, the synonym "Siberian Ruby" is still occasionally found in the literature.
