Watermelon tourmaline gemstone pendant, faceted, 925 silver, 20x26 mm

Watermelon tourmaline – a natural wonder in a stone: The green edge (verdelite) and the pink to red core (rubellite) grow together in one crystal, creating the fascinating play of color that is reminiscent of a sliced watermelon. This phenomenon is caused by changing mineral compositions during crystal growth. The name tourmaline comes from the ancient Sinhalese word "toramali" ("mixed gemstones") – no name could be more fitting. This large, faceted pendant showcases the unique play of color particularly impressively – set in 925 sterling silver.
