Watermelon Tourmaline Rough Specimen - One of a Kind, 10 In

Watermelon tourmaline gets its name from a pink heart wrapped in green, and this big rough piece carries both colors through the stone.

It is raw and unpolished, about the size of a cantaloupe, with pink and green tourmaline and glittering gold flakes catching the light across the surface. Displayed whole, it makes a bold natural piece for a shelf, office or meditation space. Crafters can also split off smaller fragments for their own projects, since the stone comes apart readily. It is a strong October birthday gift for a mineral lover who prefers raw material to polished shapes.

About Watermelon Tourmaline
