Why choose between watermelon tourmaline and black tourmaline when one specimen can show both?
These two raw pieces carry bicolor watermelon crystals and black tourmaline together on the same matrix. Piece 1 is the bigger, chunkier specimen, deep and broad, with the most weight to it. Piece 2 is longer and slimmer, an easier shape to slide onto a bookshelf or set along a mantel. They make a fine gift for a mineral collector, or for an October birthday. Pick the one that suits your space from the photos.
Tourmaline is a group of boron silicate minerals, and watermelon tourmaline is the color zoned kind, green on the outside and pink at the core. Manganese produces the pinks and iron the greens. It measures 7 to 7.5 on the Mohs scale, it is one of the October birthstones alongside opal, and it is the gem for the eighth wedding anniversary.
Stone Meaning: Watermelon and black tourmaline are traditionally associated with harmony and protection.
