Watermelon tourmaline Slices - Height: 15 mm - Width: 15 mm- 2 g - (1)

Watermelon tourmaline is a distinctive variety of tourmaline characterized by its unique coloration that resembles a slice of watermelon: a pink or reddish center surrounded by a green outer layer. These bi-colored or tri-colored gemstones form naturally due to variations in trace elements during crystal growth. Measuring about 15 mm in height and width, a slice of watermelon tourmaline provides a captivating glimpse into the mineral's complex internal zoning, offering collectors and jewelry makers a colorful and naturally patterned gem. Tourmaline itself is prized for its wide color range and crystal habit, making watermelon tourmaline slices especially attractive for pendants, earrings, or as specimen slices. Their small size and mixed hues make them a popular choice among both gem enthusiasts and artisans.
