Watermelon Tourmaline

Weighing 5 grams, this natural standing Watermelon Tourmaline crystal showcases the classic concentric color zoning prized by fine mineral collectors. Sourced from the world-famous pegmatites of Paprok, Afghanistan, the single prismatic crystal features a vibrant pinkish-red rubellite interior encased in a crisp, emerald-green outer rind. Its self-standing habit displays excellent spatial presence, highlighted by sharp vertical striations, outstanding gem-grade internal clarity, and a glassy surface luster that catches light from all angles. Preserved entirely in its raw, untreated state with clean, intact termination faces, this 5-gram thumbnail specimen delivers remarkable color saturation and crystallographic perfection—making it an ideal addition to high-end tourmaline displays, rare species showcases, or fine gemstone collections.
