What is Watermelon Tourmaline?

Watermelon tourmaline is a unique variety of tourmaline gemstone that displays colors resembling a watermelon. It typically features a pink center surrounded by a green outer layer, mimicking the appearance of a watermelon fruit. This coloration is due to the presence of different mineral impurities within the crystal structure of the tourmaline. Watermelon tourmaline is highly prized for its striking and vibrant color combination, making it a popular choice for jewelry. Watermelon tourmaline is found in various locations around the world, including Brazil, Madagascar, and the United States. If you want to learn more about watermelon tourmaline, click this link. You will find that our piece does not fit the typical description as the pink is not in the core. However, some samples shown in the link given also do not fit this exact arrangement. For the sake of clarity, we have also referred to this piece as bi-color.

Each of these pink and green tourmaline options is a WYSIWYG.

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.
