Fun summertime stunners! It's giving cold green grapes and watermelon bites on a 70-degree day.
Watermelon tourmaline is a rare find — it requires highly specific, shifting geological conditions to form. As crystallization happens, the surrounding mineral "bath" changes: elements like iron or chromium become more prevalent, causing the outer layers of the crystal to grow green. To showcase that "watermelon slice" effect, gems are usually cut as thin, polished cross-sections — just like these drops.
