Rubellite is Red Tourmaline - it strengthens one's heart and links it to the heart of the Earth. It can open one to the love that permeates the Universe.  It facilitates healing emotional wounds and helps one overcome numbness and rediscover one's zest for living. Rubellite also makes an excellent gift for one's romantic partner because of its capacity to fan the flames of passion. (Info. abridged from The Pocket Book of Stones by Robert Simmons.)
