The best known are the green tourmaline and the pink or red rubellite. 最著名的是绿色和粉红色或红色。
Only the powder of rubellite is white,so the price of rubellite is very expensive in market. 唯有锂电气石（红色电气石）它的粉末是白色的，所以锂电气石在市场上价格昂贵。
Many gemstones change their colour depending on the light source. A true rubellite does not. It shines just as intensely in artificial light as it does in daylight. 事实上,许多宝石的颜色会因自然光源或是人工光源不同而改变,但既使是在不同的光源之下,红色。
There is also currently strong demand for the “Verdelith” Green Tourmaline and Pink Tourmaline (Pink Rubellite), both of which are priced reasonably moderately. 可以说是最可取的和有价值的碧玺在今天的市场上被称为“帕拉”电气石。这些都是活生生的深蓝色，以蓝，绿的颜色和来自帕拉州在巴西。
However,rubellite is extraordinarily rare ,and its concentration from pegmatite is comparatively difficult,so the product of white tourmalina powder with high purity is few in market. 然而，红色电气石自然界十分稀少，一般产在伟晶岩中它的提取又比较困难，所以市场上纯度高的白色电气石粉产品很少。
red tourmaline also can be called rubellite. 红色电气石，也可被称为红电气石。
