Watermelon Tourmaline on Quartz Matrix - One of a Kind, 4.5 In #5

Is there a mineral gift more fitting for an October birthday than watermelon tourmaline?

This specimen pairs pink and green tourmaline with a crystal quartz matrix, and the saturated colors stand out against the clear quartz. It is a compact, chunky piece about 4.5 inches long and 4 inches high, so it holds its own on a small shelf, a bedside table or in a display cabinet without needing much room. Each watermelon crystal is pink inside and green outside, with manganese behind the pink and iron behind the green. You get this exact watermelon tourmaline.

The specimen comes in at about 4.5 by 2.5 by 4 inches. A ruler photo is included for scale.

About Watermelon Tourmaline

Tourmaline is a large group of boron silicate minerals, and the lithium bearing species elbaite is behind many colored gem tourmalines. Watermelon tourmaline is zoned, with a pink core and a green rim; manganese produces the pinks and iron the greens. Tourmaline is an October birthstone and the traditional gem for an eighth anniversary.

Stone Meaning: Watermelon tourmaline is traditionally associated with harmony and balance.
