Most Pink Tourmaline available today is heat-treated, making it unsuitable for therapeutic use. Our Pink Tourmaline is never treated. It is naturally clear, brilliant, and rich in color. Many of our Pink Tourmaline necklaces contain the highest quality, purple-pink variety known as Rubellite. Therapeutic Quality Pink Tourmaline Our current solid Pink Tourmaline necklaces are made from extremely rare rondels rather than from rounded chips, which we have offered previously. Pink Tourmaline occurs in a variety of colors, ranging from light pink to dark pink to deep purple-pink. Pink Tourmaline with a brown cast is less therapeutic than its pinker cousins. The strongest and highest quality Pink Tourmaline, known as Rubellite, appears bright and clear and contains few inclusions or flaws. Its color is a deep, purplish pink. The closer Pink Tourmaline is to this color, the more therapeutically effective it will be. Our Pink Tourmaline Necklaces Our therapeutic Pink Tourmaline necklaces are made with Pink Tourmaline rondels that have been cut from high quality crystals usually reserved for making faceted gems. Consequently, we offer the highest quality therapeutic Pink Tourmaline necklaces available anywhere. Consistency is an important factor in creating a Pink Tourmaline necklace with a potent and harmonious energetic signature. Therefore, to make each necklace, we carefully match chips for color, clarity, shape, and size. Thus, Pink Tourmaline necklace is unique, and all are individually priced based on their total carat weight and quality. For most gemstones, the therapeutic quality categories defined as Quality 1, 2, 3, 4,  etc., suffice to describe the quality of the gems in a particular necklace. However, for a handful of gemstones, gradients of quality exist within each therapeutic quality category. Pink Tourmaline is one of these gemstones. This means that a particular Pink Tourmaline necklace may be somewhat higher or lower in quality than the other necklaces in the same category. These variations are reflected in the price per carat of each necklace.
