Tourmaline - Watermelon

Watermelon Tourmaline is one of the rarest tourmalines because it displays three colours in one formation – pink, white and green. A highly sought after, natural semi-precious gemstone. Watermelon Tourmaline grows in a rod formation through a host rock, often quartz. When this rod is sliced it can display a balance of all three colours much like a slice of watermelon. When Watermelon Tourmaline was first discovered it was thought to be an emerald. Of recent years Afghanistan has released some of the most spectacular quality Watermelon Tourmaline gemstones on the current market.
