Watermelon Tourmaline gemstone

This rose-cut gemstone is a crystallized sunrise trapped within a heart of emerald forest! It is Nature’s perfect portrait of a blossoming rose hugged by morning vines. This bi-color Tourmaline features a vibrant pink core surrounded by a green outer layer, and is often referred to colloquially as a Watermelon Tourmaline. The dark inclusions visible are a natural characteristic of this particular variety. Watermelon Tourmaline is celebrated as a stone of reconciliation and joy. It is believed to connect the heart chakra (pink) with the higher heart or thymus chakra (green), creating a powerful synergy. This connection is said to help balance male and female energies, soothe emotions, foster compassion, and alleviate stress and anxiety. It is often used to heal old emotional wounds and promote a sense of inner security. By balancing the heart and the mind, Watermelon Tourmaline is believed to inspire creativity and help in bringing grand visions and dreams into physical reality. This variety is considered one of the premier stones for attracting love and resolving conflicts in existing relationships. It is thought to encourage understanding, patience, and a deeper level of intimacy. Because of its striking and unique natural color zoning, Watermelon Tourmaline is highly prized for use in fine jewelry. It is most often cut into slices, slabs and cabochons to perfectly display the concentric color pattern, and set into pendants, earrings, or statement rings.
