What is Watermelon Tourmaline?
Watermelon tourmaline shows a pink or red core surrounded by a green rind when the crystal is cut across. It forms as the crystal's chemistry changes during growth.
Slices from Brazil and Madagascar are popular as pendants and collector pieces.
Care & cleaning
Clean with lukewarm water, a drop of mild soap and a soft brush, then dry with a soft cloth. Store apart from softer stones to avoid scratches.
