ex Coll. Robert Scheck
 
Intense, almost neon-like pink on this tourmaline from the Stewart Mine in the Pala District in California. In terms of color, some of the best rubellites in California come from the Stewart Mine, comparable to the rich red of the famous Queen Mine, which is the most expensive produced tourmalines.
