The Many Names & Possible Inclusion in Plum Blossom Tourmaline
Right or wrong, this mineral combination has been referred to as rubellite in quartz, unicorn stone, plum tourmaline, and more. It does include rubellite which is often red or pink, but has also been said to include the following: pegmatite, lepidolite, smoky quartz, clear quartz, cleavelandite (albite), mica, and other inclusions that arise from borosilicate, aluminum, iron, magnesium, lithium, manganese, sodium, and potassium. Plum blossom tourmaline is said to be mined in Madagascar. It is not recognized on its own on mindat.org. If you have done any testing on this mineral composition, send us a message and let us know what you have found.
Side note: On some rarer occasions, plum blossom and other tourmalines may fluoresce un UV light. Using our 395mm light, there was no obvious reaction. Feel free to try it under a 365mm (using the safety guidelines below) and let us know what you saw!
These raw plum blossom tourmaline spheres are WYSIWYGs.
For those who are unfamiliar with WYSIWYG, it means: What You See Is What You Get. Pieces identified as WYSIWYGs are not a random pull of stones that are similar to the one(s) pictured. Instead, you receive the actual piece that is pictured.

Please Note:
- Sizes and weights are approximate. Dimension sizes can vary based on the way the rock is formed. We hand measure our pieces on the longest side. Please see the pictures in the listing.
- The colors may vary due to monitor and lighting differences.
- Please use your own judgment when allowing children to handle.
- Not suggested for use in animal habitats or fish tanks.
- UV Notes: For gemstones, 365nm is the best for UV lighting. Only some specimens illuminate under the other part of this spectrum (370-400nm). This is why some pictures are not as clear for our UV reactive pieces. Our current lights are at 395nm. For home use, the 395nm is less expensive, but in some cases, will need a zoomed beam on the flashlight style UV lights. If you do use a 365nm light, please take care to use eye protection.
