October birthdays call for tourmaline, and a polished pink tourmaline on matrix point is a lovely way to give it.
This compact point is slim, about 1.5 inches thick, so it fits on a desk, a nightstand or a small display shelf without taking over. We identify it as watermelon tourmaline, with green tones alongside the pink, and the polish shows the color of the crystal against the surrounding matrix. Keeping the matrix gives it the look of a real mineral specimen rather than a carved trinket. It is also the traditional gem for an eighth anniversary, and it suits anyone who collects pink stones. A small piece like this also travels well as a gift. This is the exact point shown.
The point is about 4 by 2 by 1.5 inches. Look at the ruler photo for scale.
Tourmaline is a large group of boron silicate minerals. Manganese produces its pinks and reds, while iron, and possibly titanium, produces greens and blues, and watermelon tourmaline is green on the outside and pink on the inside. Tourmaline is a birthstone for October and the gem for the eighth anniversary.
Stone Meaning: Pink tourmaline is traditionally associated with love and compassion.
